"a few dings that are so small I cant get them to show up on a picture" Well, tightwad, how about spend 100 bucks for a little PDR?
"minor lip rash on a a wheel, none of these are noticeable" Really?
"all had to be pointed out to me and again, and you would need special lighting and or a magnifying glass to find them...but I want to be extremely harsh in my description to save everyone time" Whenver I hear comments like this, my BS meter goes off...

JR, please consider that at $29,900 and not a lot of miles, you can afford to address things.
As a dealer, I'd buy the car, do a major (costs me $3500), do the PDR, touch things up, sticky-no-more, refinish the wheels, whatever and have a flawless service-reset $39,900 car.
Cars are like houses. Would you only buy one that had perfect carpet? Or would you consider one that needed carpet if it were priced accordingly? Especially if you wanted to change color anyway?
JR, you can continue to think like a rich guy. Your logic isn't flawed, it's just not how the other half can afford to look at things.
