You might also want to consider a few strategically-placed scratches & dents here & there.

Here on Orcas Island where today the billionaires are buying out the millionaires, I've found that each of those scratches and dents, along with the chalky paint make the vehicle more valuable if I need to sell one.  But really, you guys know I like them a bit rough around the edges myself, and the 'restoration' costs are very low.
