And obsessing over this is NOT OCD. OCD would be if there was no scratch and you kept going back to look for it anyway.

Scratch was couple inches long and deep enough to be felt when I ran my hand over it. That scratch itself wasn't that bad. Hence I left the dealer that night without making a big deal out of it. However, the repair was bigger than I expected. There is masking tape at the door jamb near the passenger side mirror. My worry is that another dealer, Carmax, or a private buyer (who knows his stuff) will think that the damage was more extensive or there was an accident.
Maybe not OCD in this case, more like paranoid.
