[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not fixing car damage, even if it's minor, is something you do when you don't have insurance and/or are too poor to afford it. It also looks irresponsible and sloppy/trashy.[/quote]

Or it means you live in a dense or urban(ish) area where dings and dents are common. And you likely walk a lot so your car just isn’t some huge priority. Maybe you care about this sort of thing if you need to schlep yourself all around your exurb and worry about keeping your vehicle protected in your McMansion garage.[/quote]

This. Our car has a ton of "minor damage" just from parking in the city, as well as minor annoyances that we should probably get fixed but we drive so little we don't worry about it that much.

Insurance rarely covers minor damage anyway -- for most cars, fixing a minor dent or scratch will be out of pocket anyway because it won't cost enough to get you out of your deductible. We currently have a dinged windshield that we are debating fixing. It's a super minor ding and honest impede our ability to drive, and the thought of spending a few hundred on a new windshield for that seems silly and wasteful.

It has never occurred to me that anyone would look at something like that and think we were "sloppy/trashy". Knowing some people do think that makes me think less of them, not of myself.[/quote]
