Paint Damage - Respray Required?

[wabash2015]

Does the paint on this car look too far gone to be fixed by a detailer and will require a respray of new paint at a body shop? It's a very low mile 2017 GT performance package that I think sat out in the sun for several years with no real maintenance done to it. Notice the white lines on the rear quarter panels and the paint discoloration.

The car is otherwise mechanically perfect, but the seller is asking top dollar for what looks like a very weathered car.

I'm not an expert but I think that's the clear coat failing and not the paint. The rear pillar damage sort of makes me think it had a car cover on it outside that shifted around on it for a long time.

The trunk edge confuses me.

Pretty big flaws imo and would cost a good bit to fix if you needed to paint. Not top dollar condition in my book.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. They want $31k and it just seems way too damaged for that price.

31K? Or $3,100

They want $31k for the car as-is. Supposedly they will respray these areas but I think it is too risky for that amount of money.
