Car companies have done this for ages.
Small damage (not wrecked) and before it is sold they repair it and then send to dealer.
MY wifes Camaro SS was this way. One day washing the car noticed a weird haze on rear quarter.
Turns out is must have been scratched or small scrape before sent to dealer or maybe even at the dealer and the blended in the paint sun caught it just right so it was noticeable.
Took it to a local paint shop..yes it was repaired at one time..but not by us.
When I bought my Ford Probe GT in 1992, it had a ding in the left rear fender. Sales manager told me that he had done it himself, with the door of a hot Thunderbird SC he had been playing with.
He offered to either send it to the body shop at no charge to me, or knock $500 off the price. Since the paint wasn’t scratched, I took the $500 price reduction.
The car came from the dealer with it’s first parking lot ding! Had the car for twenty years, no more body damage.
THE CASE OF THE $4 MILLION BMW
Gore sued BMW, and an Alabama jury awarded him $4,000 in compensatory damages and $4 million in punitive damages.
On remand, the Supreme Court of Alabama ordered a new trial unless plaintiff accepted a remittitur of all but $50,000 of the punitive damage

We bought a brand new Camaro one time that once we got it home and started looking at it....the paint on the hood was so thin you could see through it in places. Called the salesman who talked to someone at the dealership and they said no, they won’t fix it. I sent the owner of the dealership an email telling him either they fix it or I’ll drive it through their showroom window. lol He sent me back an email that said...bring it in.
