Even at the dealership, before cars go on the lot and after. Lol. Scuffs, windshields, curbed wheels, etc, etc. Cars get damaged all the time during unloading, test drives and even just being moved around on the lot. Also - specially in areas that are prone to hail. Cars could have undergone $10,000 of hail damage repair and nobody would ever know, specially with shadier dealerships that wouldn't disclose it upfront (saw this a lot during COVID). BMW dealerships weren't going to throw away cars during shortages. My girlfriend and I saw a $110,00 X7 that had at least 500 indentations on the body from a hail storm that happened in transit over the Rockies, and the car was back on the lot a month later for sale at MSRP. Doubt the buyer ever knew. Lol.
