Wanting a car to keep "new status" is customer based. Better paint will always carry value but there's more than one way to get there. You can fill paint chips and make it look brand new but it's time consuming. That said, I've never had a few paint chips change the value of my sale price either. I was just offered $56K for my m340 with paint chips. Exactly what I paid brand new (military discount)
Cars are also easy to repaint for the same amount later. This all goes back to requirements of the customer and negotiatons. It's akin to collectors and their feelings on patina.
