f a body panel has been replaced, the Elcometer reading will not read factory specification.
All of the cars offered to Luxury MotorCars' clients are Elcometer Certified. I divulge Elcometer readings and notify my clients if the car has been re-painted, in an accident, or is original. Many times I pass on buying cars with Elcometer readings that paint a picture of prior damage and abuse. However, sometimes a hood has been repainted because of rock chips which is not something I would consider a worry. Nonetheless, if my client knows ahead of time, the power to say don't buy is always in the hands of my clients.
The truth of the matter is, as most dealers, brokers, and buyers don't possess an Elcometer for this simple reason: What the people don't know won't hurt them. If their eyes can't see it, neither will you. The salesman selling your car surely won't know either.
An annalistic attitude, a detailers eye, and the extra protection of an Elcometer are some of the ways Luxury MotorCars chooses it's cars. Buy with confidence, all Luxury MotorCars clients know the full story of their cars before they buy. Do You?
