The bottom line
Four in five of these have a repainted panel, so shiny paint is a reason to trace body work, not a reason to relax — structural repairs are rare, and that is the bright spot. The money problems sit in the engine and the electronics: oil leaks on 57% of cars, plus fuel-trim faults and engine-electronics issues, while active error codes are common and codes are often cleared before you arrive. Do not trust a quiet scan. Check for leaks and live codes first, then tire wear, which shows up often enough to use as leverage. If the paint story, the leaks, and a wiped scan all show up together, walk.
