Add the price of the repair and re-paint. Good you walked away.

If you own a body shop and can do all the work just for cost of materials, you screwed up. Otherwise, you just saved yourself some grief. I'm assuming the gouges go into the panels themselves and not just the finish.

If the guy was selling at that price, he prolly knew how much it would be to correct the damage.

Yep, you blew it. As others have stated, it would have made an excellent track car and for that price, you could have gotten it touched up and had a great looking car. And for that low of mileage, you could have drove it for a while and still made money when you sold it. The C5 Z06 is pretty much the bargain when it comes to track cars.
