The paint can be easily removed with paint remover, which will not in 
itself damage the stainless.

Many painted cars were "treated" before painting by sanding or otherwise 
disfiguring the stainless. You might find when the paint is removed that 
the finish is not the usual brushed appearance. If the person selling the 
car is the one that painted it or had it painted, you might be able to 
find out what, if anything, was done when the car is painted. Act like 
you are concerned the paint will flake off, so he doesn't tell you nothing 
was done :)

And of course there is the risk that there is some body damage under the 
paint that was fixed with bondo. But this sort of damage can always be 
repaired, though it would be an added expense.
