Just have them repair it and perhaps discount it a bit. Believe me, after the next scratch (which is surely to appear), you'll forget the first one was already repaired.

I disagree with an earlier post about repaints never being as good as factory. I think it depends on who you use.

I recall using a paint shop in Toronto called Rodeo Classic Automobiles to repair my BMW 3 series. I had the cheapest car in the shop. The rest were brand new exotic cars that were being re-polished (some were being repainted) because the owners were not happy with the orange peel in the paint.

When the cars were finished they looked wet they were so smooth. Crazy, I agree, but some people want perfection.

I think if you find the right body shop, the only people who will know the car had a scratch will be you and us. As a final though, the dealer is going to have to fix the car anyway. Why don't you see how it turns out? If it is perfect, take it. If it is't, wait for a new one and hope for the best.
