Repaint My 2006 Acura TSX Or Newer TSX

I purchased a 2006 Acura TSX in April and at the time the owner had made the car look beautiful and had It detailed... It's now revealing thousands of micro-scratches, a few new scratches that mysteriously appeared (likely from parking lots, even though I try so hard to park away from all the cars, It's hard to do in populated areas), and I hate It. I paid $14,5000 for It (62,000 miles) and It's Pearl White.

I am thinking about doing one of the following:

1. Having It repainted (same color, I love the pearl white), but I'm not sure how much that would cost.

2. Purchasing a used 2009 Acura TSX that was actually taken care of and garaged (this one was obviously not, the water marks, micro-scratches, and other things reveal this)

Of course, I have terrible OCD which makes me look over every inch of my car, I don't know why I didn't before I got It (probably because I was excited to get It)

I also had quite a few micro-scratches when I bought mine. It's also pearl white. I buffed it, which took care of 95% of the scratches. It took probably 6 hours but was well worth it.

I would definitely look at getting it buffed before thinking about repainting it or buying another car.

If it's micro-scratches, get it buffed out and polished (yourself or professional job). Less expensive then a complete paint job. Far less expensive then a used 2009.
