If the customer says he doesn't want "perfect code", he's happy to take low quality code as long it does what he wants it to do, what do you do? We're here to deliver what the customer wants, right. So, do you cut corners on quality? I wouldn't. I'd want to understand the customer's thinking and if it turns out that it's short-term thinking ("I want the cheapest solution so I don't care about quality"), or it's ignorance or plain old stupidity, I'd walk away. My conscience wouldn't permit me to compromise the quality of my work.
