Evening gents
I am in the process of buying a 2nd hand BMW privately. Everything with the car checks out, I had Francois and John check out the history for me, no comments, FSH and low mileage for the year.
However, with the DEKRA report (required when MFC finances) it notes "residual traces of repair" on the front bumpers, fenders, rear left fender, left door, bonnet, rear bumper. The techie told me it definitely had work done. Now the current owner did not do any spraywork, and he got it from a BMW dealer where it was traded.
What could be the reason for this amount of spraywork? And it would've happened while under motorplan. I noticed the bonnet had work done when I looked at it but overall the car looked in great nick. Does DEKRA have it wrong maybe?
