Have seen a few missing or door cracked around the lower corner, some the doors are distorted enough for them to miss the hole they locate in. (
I do not suggest this is the norm or a good idea) never heard of one coming off in flight due to missing \ broken pin, I await to hear different ? may be if the latches let go.
I also owned a share in a 500 for 8 years the bill were paid by me & partner, not by a corporation or company, both of us felt we were cash cows & sold it, the same as a lot of private owners.
I would suggest you are clutching at straws to justify the price

Don't get me started on 500 door locking mechanisms complicated to make, adjust, & keep adjusted, then the poor material they are made of, Wear is an understatement
