Hello,
I just bought a 2001 Pontiac Aztec. Of course its used with 40K miles on it, I bought it from a big GM Dealer in my area. Its pretty cool and the only thing really wrong with it is, it has a few (13 or so) small *minor* scratchs. Now even though they are minor, I still really want to get them fixed ASAP. I was talking to a family member and he said that any body shop would be able to take care of them w/o a problem but then (cause he's an idiot) says "well, at least I think thats what they can do, i'm not sure". So I am also looking to maybe re paint it but then again this same moron says "you will pay over $2,000 for a paint job". Now this family member is a complete idiot, his idea of painting a car is going to home depot and buying a few spray paint cans and makes his car look worse after then it was before and is some how, happy that his 1998 Blazer looks worse then a rusted out 1980 station wagon.
So.... As i said, it is a Pontiac Aztec. If i was to go to Maaco or the GM dealer where I got this car from, how much money would we be talking about if I wanted it to be re painted. I don't mean a "value" paint job, I mean a paint job that will last a few years before it begins to show signs of chiping. I don't think it would be that much as I mean, the aztec is 30% glass, 30% Plastic/Rubber and 40% metal, so its not like painting a mustang or minivan from top to bottom. What do you think?
EDIT: Besides the obvious reason for buying the Aztec (Needed a car), The dealer was having a weekend sale which was any down payment over $2,500 the dealer would match it. So even though I was approved for a loan of $22,000 for a SUV (not counting the fact that I had 5,000 case on me. The asking price for the aztec was $17,995. I gave them $5,000 cash and they matched it with another $5,000. So i only owe $7,995.
