I just bought a second hand Santa Fe from an individual. The day we bought it was rainy, and we didn't notice a LOT of the paint damage. It really looks bad, as the clear coat is peeling off and the paint is fading. More afraid of rust on the faded places than the looks. It also had a dent on the passenger side trim, so will need to replace that in time. Paint is the #1 thing right now. It will require a lot of pre-work, as the clear coat is thick and will need sanding to make the paint job smooth.
