If you can notice it, it is a problem.

You will never be completely happy with it and it will cost a fair bit to re-spray if it is over multiple panels.

Liberties are a great car, don't compromise.

Obviously you're not happy and doubting the purchase of the car so don't buy it.

I wouldn't worry about it, but I would use it to negotiate a good price. Factor in the cost of the repair in the final price.

Personally I use touch up paint to to prevent rust on little marks until I have enough scratches to justify taking it to a repairer.
Then it looks shiny again until 2 weeks later someone else inevitably dents it in the parking lot.
