What would you do here! Attempt to repair or leave alone?

Hi there,

I hit a piece of road debris with a two month old car that left a series of long scratches on the bottom of my rear passenger door. They catch with a fingernail so I assume they are down to the primer (or at least the base coat).

All things considered, I got lucky there wasn’t more damage. They are also well below eye level and not visible unless you are looking for them.

Is it worth trying to get these repaired? I’ve considered touch up paint, but with how low they are and my lack of a steady hand, that would likely turn into a nightmare even if it’s just some clear coat.

Right now I’m tempted to just leave them and add some spray wax after washing for added protection. My primary concern is potential for rust, not necessarily aesthetics given where they are.

Thanks in advance.

Is this within tolerance?

The weather stripping between the hood and bumper looks like it’s pulling away at the body lines. I assume this is normal?

What's a reasonable timeframe to take delivery on a new car?

I went to a dealer on Saturday morning and agreed to purchase a new Honda after a short negotiation (they met my target price pretty quickly). They didn't have the colors I wanted in their inventory but agreed to locate one to match my top three choices. I left a deposit and signed the purchase agreement. All in all, it was a refreshingly smooth and simple process.

I get a call back on Monday afternoon indicating they located a car for me in my desired color. I told them I wanted to take delivery this coming Saturday (one week after my initial visit). They pushed back immediately and demanded that I come in the next day because its "the end of the month." Then they threatened to not hold the and offer it to another buyer. I work during the week and just don't have the flexibility in my schedule to go back to the dealer on a weekday.

I'm a little shocked by their reaction...is what I'm asking for unreasonable? I'm tempted to walk just based on the interaction. I find it to be pretty disrespectful, especially after giving them a sizable deposit.
