I'd like to sell my 32, though atm its damaged. I got taken out by a taxi, and knocked into a gutter.

Im expecting to possibly fix it soon, though to what extent is what im trying to decide.

The drivers door has slight dents in it, which is est. to cost 350 to fix. It then needs to be sprayed to the rear guard, and it would be smart to do the bonnet/bar, and to the rear guard on the left as well. The other option is to do the complete car.

Doing it the 'cheaper' way, would cost around 1.5-2k

Doing the complete car, with better paint, and a few pearls, has been est. around 4k.

So my problem is that do i try to sell now, as is, or cheaply fix it, or do the whole car. We all know that adding shit to our cars doesn't return very much resell value so im looking for the best option to get the most for my car.

Advice is welcome :D

There's possible benefits to be made if the car is fixed, but it's a risk which way you run.

I am sold a vehicle recently that was 'keyed' and I thought I'd better get the scratch (right around the car) taken out before I sold it to add some value to the car. I spent $1500 on the paint job, but it was debatable whether I got my money back when the car was sold.

So, you run a risk either way in my opinion. Something is only worth what someone is prepared to pay.

If the rest of the ar is in good condition, perhaps even has a few nice bolt ons id try and sell the car with damagd body... this way the next owner gets a good driver with good mechanicals a bit cheaper but has a blank canvas to work with as far as body mods/colours.

It may even apeal to someone after a registered track car they can drive to/from the circuit, and not fear bumps and scrapes.

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
