FFS it's only a car.

Yes, quite, and damaged bodywork only costs money when you come to
sell it, which is obviously totally unimportant.

Correct. I've owned 4 cars, in 25+ years of driving (just taken on the
4th). Of the three others, 2 died in accidents, the third was part
exchanged (guaranteed £1000) before it fell apart from the ravages of
the iron moth catapillar.

Anyone part-exchanging a car for a guaranteed £1000 is getting monumentally
ripped off in the price of the car they're buying. No-one would just give
£1000 for a car worth £50 out of the goodness of their heart.
