Buying a new FW with slight hail damage

Found a new FW at a dealership that has some cosmetic hail damage. Mostly on the metal skirt below the fiberglass wall and a few dimples on the aluminum corner piece, underneath the roof membrane. I was told that all the vents and skylights survived intact and there were no holes in the membrane. I'm really about 1-2 years away from buying, and it's not 100% what I was looking for, but the price on this is so good that it's hard not to jump on it. Comments?

  • if the hail was strong enough to damage aluminum i'd be concerned of roof damage. You wouldn't know if you have roof problems until you had roof problems. Dealer could have replaced plastic vent covers
