Agree. If the cosmetics of the mark bother you, don't buy it. But if you can overlook the scratch, very much doubt it is a problem. Doubtful the dealer would sell you a frame they thought really had a structural problem due to law suit concerns. You could also ask them to note it on the receipt in case there is a future problem in that area.
