It looks tidy and judging by the effort he's gone with the photos probably means he/she cares about their cars.

I would definitely take the AA or similar with me, for the sake of £50. Stone chips for me are give away too, if it's peppered with them then my guess would be that it's been driven up the arse of everything.

If you do get it check out the detailing section for some handy tips on those little detailing jobs including taking any swirls out of the paint etc.

Looks like a good buy to me. As others have suggested get an AA check and finance to be on the safe side. Good luck with it.

Not entirely true, I drive a country mile behind folk on the motorway and my front end is covered with them. You have no say in folk cutting in in front of you which is probably when it happens!
My Mrs, who I don't think ever goes above 60 has also got the same on the front of her car.
Just poor paint I reckon.

My front end has a few stone chips the same.  The worst one is when you can see the stone arching towards you and you know it's going to hurt. Last one was on a motorway and I was around 2/3 car lengths back from a Micra in front of me when I saw it coming towards me - hit the top of the windscreen and luckily only a slight chip - no major damage but I did miss a heartbeat when I was driving.

I am going to be filling / sanding / polishing my chips in soon - I have a couple of white spots where the undercoat is showing that are annoying me!
