There are several rock chips on the rear fender in front of the rear wheels. Five or six other chips or blemishes.
The car drove great and is nice underneath.
I have done a lot of research but I still have a few questions.
Is it normal for the door jambs and inner hood area to have the paint rubbed off them in places where the door and hood close on them or are these alignment issues?
What would be a good price for me to pay for this car?
Thanks

Stone chips are inevitable, as for paint rubbing off the jambs, occasionally you will get this as people lean on the doors (you do not want to use the doors or the windshield to support your weight while getting in and out of the car) to get in and out of the car,,,,Hoods have a tendancy to rub if going over particularly bumpy roads, again, this is to be expected over time. As for price, you really need to give a lot more details of the car, post some pictures, more detailed description of the drivetrain, mileage, ect so we can assist you with that aspect further. Welcome to the madness, you'll find the hunt to be only half the fun.
