Hail Damage

We are looking at purchasing a new AS with a great deal of hail damage. Any ideas on the best way to repair or should we just leave it alone and value the great price reduction.

Buy it cheap and leave it. I would love to buy a late model hail damaged unit the insurance totaled.

Mine has sap damage the PO decided to try and remove with brillo! Kinda takes the initial stress of a first blemish away. Get the discount if you can live with the damage.

You might want to think about some type of spray on bedliner that could cover area and fill damage. Just a thought, I covered my roof w a light grey (did not like the white original paint coating) and it looks great, also helped water seal!
