jcamp,
While minor scratches like this are annoying, these are common minor wear and tear type items that are bound to occur - even though I know this occurred only after she had about 2000 miles on he clock. My guess is that if you take it to a certified repair center to have the scratch repaired then the resale value shouldn't really be affected that much, if at all. I think the resale value would be impacted if you replaced a body panel or bumper, as the original parts each have VIN stickers that trace the parts back to the original car. With this, I think you'll be O.K.

If I was buying, then this type of repair would not put me off. I would tell me that the owner cares about the car's appearance.
Sadly, scrapes happen, so how many times are you likely to need a minor bumper scratch repainted over your ownership.
What happened with the door?
