No dings or scratches on my '0-9 either. I park only on "end spots" or a distance away and get the exercise. However, I've had had car sales guys insist that the modest price premium you get in sale price or trade-in price for by "a no-ding no-scratch car" isn't worth all the time effort and expense required to keep a car at that level. Normal wear and tear is expected by used car buyers and the body shops at trade in can easily repair the small stuff.
That being said, I still like the proud feeling you enjoy when your car is as perfect as you can keep it.
