What is the term for compensation written into an estimate for cosmetic damage that the owner agrees to live with?

The term for compensation written into an estimate for cosmetic damage that the owner agrees to live with is known as the "appearance allowance." This term is used within the context of auto damage appraisal to account for cosmetic repairs that may not be essential for the vehicle's functionality but are nonetheless recognized in the estimate. By including this allowance, appraisers acknowledge that while the cosmetic damage may affect the overall look of the vehicle, the owner has accepted it as satisfactory and does not require it to be repaired for the time being. This allowance helps to provide a more accurate financial representation of the vehicle’s condition without inflating the repair estimate for cosmetic issues that do not impact safety or operability. The other terms may refer to different aspects of damage assessment but do not specifically capture the concept of an owner agreeing to forego cosmetic repairs.
