I’m assuming this is a private seller. If you can’t live with it ( and I probably couldn’t) I would keep looking as buying as-is puts all the work and risk on you in trying to come up with a good repair. That only works out in your favor if you know of a high end or otherwise high quality paint shop with an excellent record of repairing and matching paint that you have faith in. That doesn’t seem to be the case. If he were that serious about selling it for a decent price he would have it fixed first.
