I was doing a very thorough walk-around inspection of my car at the dealer, and the saleswoman was like, "What are you doing?". My reply, "Making sure it's perfect."

While I don't blame you for being upset at the damage, a lot of heartache would have been avoided if you pointed these problems out at the dealership instead.

I really appreciate everyone's feedback. One thing I will point out is the car was perfect when we bought it. The damaged happened after I returned the car to have it detailed. I am a perfectionist and believe me the car had no damage the day I took it home. I agree with everyone about the car developing chips and scratches over time. These will be my fault and I will only blame myself. For me it is different when the dealership has your car a week after you sign the paperwork and then damages it. Accidents do happen and the dealer did own up to it but just do the best repair job possible.

You said in original post that you noticed scratches AFTER you purchased and got it home. I'd say you should have looked it over better. We all want our cars to be perfect - at least for that few miles after purchase - but once you sign and leave the dealership it's your responsibility. Sounds like your dealer has been more than fair about taking care of you.

Like someone else said, after a few months and a few rock chips on the front you won't even notice those other minor flaws. That said, get some Clear Bra if you want to avoid rock chips.

What happened to you is why I do all the cleaning and simple maintenance work.
