Ok, so I have a '97, s14, that I want to sell. (THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE POST.)

The only problem is that I don't know how to price it or what to do to it prior to putting it on the market. I originally bought the car to use it as a drift car in '04 but I bought a s13 shortly afterwards, and used that instead. Since then, though, the car has been keyed and hit in a parking lot pushing the rear bumper in about an inch on one side and cracking the bumper's paint. The key mark is on the driver's side; front fender, door, and rear. Everything else can be simply cleaned up or is in good shape.

My dilemma is whether or not to get the car repainted before I sell it. My fiance's brother paints cars and would do it cheap but I want to try to get as much money back as I can from the paint if I do that. I could just leave it as is and let someone else paint it or do whatever when they buy it, I guess, but I want to know which way it would be more marketable.

Would you paint it or sell it as is?

Cliffs:

Have s14 that I want to get rid of.
Car has been bumped and keyed.
Want to know if I should paint it before selling or leave it.

Opinions, please.

Pics to come tomorrow if it's not a monsoon. Mods feel free to move this to another section if need be.

 

Sell as is with the option of painting it for more money...

 

What he said. Post pics so we can see it please.
