I don't care whether I buy a car that's 26,000 or 5,000....I'm going to take care of it both cosmetically and mechanically. This is my first new car and I did not view it as a "cheap" car.
I wash it every week and wax once a month if I can. Washing and waxing isn't done because of any strange paranoia that your friend seems to have. YES I care about the cars appearance but the process of washing and waxing itself is therapeutic for me...almost meditative, I look forward to it.
As far as rock chips, door dings, etc go...do I like them? Of course not. But they are inevitable and out of my control so I don't let it get to me.
I believe how you treat your car reflects on how you treat everything else in life, from all the little things down to even the big things such as your house. It's more of a personality thing to me I guess.
