    Screenshot_20190602-075512_Messages.jpg ..there is a dent in the rear. Is the metal too thick for pointless dent repair or would that work. Doesn't have to be perfect for now, I just wanna drive it. What do you guys think.. couple hundred bucks to fix?
    Thx

    Probably depends on how good the dent guy is, though I doubt that could be completely pulled out without damaging paint. Probably already enough damage to require repainting.

    So I would definitely drive that Maverick as is!

    If the car is rust free and that is the only issue with the car I would buy it right away if the price is right. It will be MUCH cheaper to repair that dent then a rusty car.

    Call your local paintless dent repair guy and ask. They will probably want to see it before telling you anything but it's the only way you'll get a good answer.

    I wish that dent was the only thing I had to worry about when buying a Maverick! If the price is right and you like the car, you better snatch it up!

    Compared to rust, that dent is like a grain of sand on the beach....

    That should buff out easily.
