I'm just kidding, of course. I would buy a dimpled plane, but it would have to be at the right price. That damage does detract several thousand dollars from the list price. It is only worth getting the plane for the right price, what that number is depends on the overall airplane and is hard to judge without seeing the plane in person.
The other thing I would advise is to make sure the 150 is the right size plane for you. It was barely OK for me at 6'1", and not useable for my son at 6'5". The yoke would hit his legs. Cabin size was the main reason I switched to a 172. Even for me, it was not the easiest thing to climb in, though once inside i was Ok if there was no one else in the plane. With my airplane partner and I inside, we were pretty much shoulder to shoulder. On the other hand, the plane fit the person I sold it to like a glove. He was much shorter and had to slide the seat pretty far forward. For him, the panel on the 172 was too high and obstructed his view.
