even if asking price is 2.1, it can still be brought down - consider this:
Because its only 4yrs old, the car -if maintained well- should have a documented service history. If hood is really painted, then probably it could as well be slightly misaligned. So check for uneven gaps between hood and fenders.
Also, if it was badly dented/replaced then certain OEM stickers(like battery inspection instructons etc.,.) which are normally pasted under the hood could be missing. Check this thing with other GTX/S10 owners.
A documented service history adds a lot of value to a used car, because it is you who is going to live with it for next 30-40k kms atleast and hence knowing the previous service history will allow you to plan preventive maintenance.
Also insist on owners manual and check counter foils of service coupons in it- if some denting /replacement work has been carried out in intial months(free/paid services) it might be reflect in counter foils as well.
