Pretty sure anyone who has ever bought a new car or one in good condition knows the feeling. It's not unique to only select few car owners of specific cars.

But if it's a ding, it's just a ding. Not a big deal. Not even important enough to make the list of "first world problems."

My car was new when I bought it. It was a "lot car." The dealership employees used it to get lunch for the crew and similar. It only had 300 miles on it, total. After driving it off the lot I discovered it already had a ding in the back. The dealership offered free ding repair for the first 90 days. I could never get in touch with the ding guy (it was a subcontract job). The 90 days expired. I got over it by the 100th day.

Really - it's a non-issue.
