I take excellent care of it, mechanically and cosmetically. A scratch in the first 100 miles is there forever... I even demand the dealer NOT wash the car as they are likely to put micro-scratches in the paint. Go look at the cars in carmax. The cheap cars tend to have very good paint, the high end European brands tend to have massive amounts of microscratches all over (presumably from their previous owners frequently taking it to a non-touchless car wash). I sold a high performance sports car with 10,000 miles on it to Carmax a few years ago and the mechanic review said the car "looked and ran like it was brand new" and I was very happy with the price they offered. For ICE cars, especially high performance sports cars, there is a lot to be concerned about non-owners doing in the first 100 miles.
