OMG; my 40th needs a new roof!

^ I agree... Just get a new roof and you will be happy.

agree with ^

However the Nissan dealer that checked it out and said it was mint, how did they convey this information to you? Through email? Do you have records of their statements that the car was in mint condition? Also do you have contact info from the BMW dealer stating the condition of the car or guaranteeing it?

If so, contact them both and inform them the car has prior damage and it will cost you to repair the roof and tell them they have to pay or contribute to the repair bill. If they say no, contact an attorney and show him the statements from both dealers, have him draft a demand letter to both dealers stating they violated (your state) law for falsifying information and misrepresenting material items in a contract. This should straighten them out and one will pay or contribute.

At worst, you scare the dealers and pay the roof yourself, at which point you sue the dealers through said attorney.

(this does not constitute legal advice)

If you did a carfax they have a guarentee that is something is wrong with the vehicle and they did not have it reported that they buy it back or cover the cost of the repair from my understanding. the whole premise of using their service.

What I would do if I were in your shoes, I'd sand it and see if there are any holes. If there's not, then I'd prime it to make it even and then purchase and install an NRG CF roof cap as a temporary solution w/o spending too much. And when you are ready to paint, you can do it before you sell the car or do it when you can then sell the CF roof cap.

If the damage was fixed by the original owner, it probably won't show up on the Car Fax report. We sold my mother-in-laws car to a local dealer, and the Car Fax report they ran on it did not show any of the body repairs that were done during the time she owned it. We did, however, let the dealer know what was not reported because it was the right thing to do.
