Have it repaired at some point as part of a bigger project and it'll all be good.

I brought my buddy a long to pickup my car out of state and he noticed a small scratch on the door and they put a little touchup paint on it. No big deal. What I didn't notice was how dirty the front headliner was when I got it home. As long as there aren't any major dings on the car and it runs properly just enjoy it... I know I am!!

similar situation happened to me. i do have a few rock chips here and there are considered patching them up correctly..but why spend the extra hundres of dollars when after all, it IS a used car..can't expect perfection I guess...I did vent like crazy when I first got my car, hence all the nasty posts I did..haha..but I'm totally over that whole thing..I love my car...simple as that..she's comfortable...a fast little sucker...and damn hot!
