arashtrip 4 Posted August 24, 2023 Hi I bought a car into trader that has a body damage (cost circa £1200 to fix) It was a mistake to buy this but now I want to get some opinion or advice on whether: -fix it and sell it for the market value (it will have profit but takes time and incur more financial risk) -sell it with a much lower price (is it attractive to the customers to buy a car with a body damage but much cheaper?) -sell it with trade price and get rid of it? The car does not have any mechanical issues, it has a long mot and was recently serviced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arashtrip 4 Posted August 25, 2023 10 hours ago, It's me said: You do a chart for each and every bail out Then work out the least grief option Then keep to this plan And learn Then do the same again tomorrow thank you for your advice. my main question was that based on an experience of an establish car dealer it is better to fix and increase the price in similar cases or reduce the price? Are people in general concerned more about the body of the car or the price they pay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
