When I got my recent car, it had only 24,000 miles at purchase and was basically pristine looking. I could not see any bumps, gashes, dents, and scratches on the car.
It only took a week before someone sideswiped it in a parking lot and now the pristine car has scratches and dents.
My old car was full of these things but as each dent and scratch occurred, I really did not care because it already looked like a junker. But now I am thinking of getting the now damaged newer car fixed up to look like new. (Though it is not that bad looking after the accident, but it is the principal of it- it is only a week old.)
What is your philosophy as a frugal person about fixing up your car after parking lot accidents?
