    I need a car eyeballed in a used car lot in Colorado Springs. The seller reports hail damage but advises 'its not that bad' but says he is unable to take pictures that provide more detail. Mechanically, the car seems solid. I just want to make sure the car doesnt look like a golfball. If I could get a member that is local to swing by and take some close up photos of the fenders and roof, I will be much obliged and will paypal $25 to you for your time.

    This is the link to the car/dealer. Its Spring Auto Sales (428 S. Nevada Ave) and the car is a black 01 Mustang:

    The price seems fair and I can't see much damage in the pics. Roof and hood damage?

    Oh I know. My only heartburn is I called the guy and asked for more pictures and he said that the ones posted where the best he could provide. I know the price is more than fair, but Im afraid the photos are masking the damage to a significant degree. And yes, he says the primary damage is on the roof and trunk. Trunk is no problem as I could source another from a different car, but the roof worries me as this will be a low sitting car and seeing a golf ball for a roof will bother me.

    Mechanically, Im confident the car is good. I've had 4 previous Mustangs from 96-2011 model years and can take care of any mechanical issues.

    Dry ice will often cause the hail dings to pop back out.
