It can happen that a new complete car gets damaged at some point in its journey to you, a stone flicks up from the road and chips the paint, that sort of thing, in the compound the wind catches a door of a car parked next and puts a ding in another one, can hardly scrap a car because of something like this.
As Avant rightly notes, us delivery drivers were perfect and could never do any wrong..:-)
Most unusual that any touching up would be visible to a buyer though, are you sure the runs are not in the original paint, it does happen....any refurb work is carried out so well you would never know, it seems someone wasn't doing their job very well with your car.
Be assured that nasty damage will result in the vehicle being not being sold to you as a new car, you won't be buying a new car and find tennis ball sized chunks of filler falling off if you go over a speed hump a year later.
If the car was mine i'd slip it round to a handy little bodyshop where you can speak to a hands on person, not a receptionist, and ask a pro of his opinion as to the likely scenario. Not to get him to do anything you understand simply to get an unbiased professional opinion of likely damage thats been covered, then you have more info to make a decision on.
If in a pro's opinion it was simply a poor finish from the factory paint shop or a minor scratch during transit/movements that someone touched up not very well, then if it was me i'd let the dealer sort it properly and maybe encourage them to throw in a future service or something for your trouble.
If the pro finds that something nasty has been covered up then IMO this will be without LR's knowledge, and maybe you should think of escalating the complaint whilst the evidence is stil there.
Its up to you really, do you like the car?, does it please you?
