Your example is a bit of extreme but dealers can fix up a car in ways that’s not affordable to us. I’ve seen cars with paint chips and scratches come out looking brand new after a professional fixes it. Same with interior. Again I highly doubt the dealer in your example did enough to double the price of the car. However I could see them adding a few thousand after their professionals fix and repair cosmetic issues. They usually have people on hand who can do these repairs correctly and cheaper than the retail price they would charge us to fix a single car.
