suaveflooder - I can agree with you somewhat, but everyone has a different financial situation.
When I get paint chips, windshield chips, normal wear and tear, yes its a regular 25k+ car, but when it comes to other humans giving door dings, crashing into my rear panel without leaving a note, thats when I would disagree.
Another example would be a brand new, fully loaded work truck. Some people would argue (me) that it would look even better with some scratches from mesquite and some dings from being out in the field.
