I really don't think any of us wantto see our REO's damaged. It might hurt when a chip or scratch appears. But things do happen and sometimes our REO's pay for it. I looked for a mod that would hold up to daily life. Mine overall are in really good shape. But there has been that occasion where a Grand landed on the pavement. I held my breath and checked it out, it was fine. Yeah, that is why I got my first REO!
I have bought many that have battle scars. Chips, cracks, scrapes, and dings. They all have stories behind them. They all work great.
I love each one, and I love the fact that they will be around enduring daily use for years to come!
