dented car
Banged-up automobile
A dented car is a vehicle with visible depressions or creases in its body panels, typically from minor collisions, hail damage, or parking lot mishaps.
The phrase often implies a car that's functional but cosmetically imperfect: I bought a dented car for cheap and fixed it up myself.
A dented car may signal financial constraints, indifference to appearances, or simply bad luck.
