Message	A TT with 50k original miles that needs a little mechanical work, or an identical TT with 50k miles that got hit by a deer and had it's driver's side fender replaced? You should be able to answer that one yourself. You'll never perfectly match the paint if you simply repaint a section. Also, in your case, if the accident was never reported, then you don't know the whole story - could be worse than it looks. So...yes. _______________________________________
