It’s like a photo studio, those pictures are too perfect. I don’t know how anyone would buy a car based on those pics.

The dealers do that with their ads and I always ask for real life pictures and the car never looks as perfect as it did in those studio pictures. Also don’t tell me a car with 50k miles doesn’t have scratches or paint chips on it. Yes I see they mentioned the front bumper being repainted but you know the car must have other paint chips ...

One of my first questions to dealers is can you send me pictures of the imperfections, I know the car has them and I understand i’m buying used I just don’t want any surprises.
