selling car with dent

kueef

hi,
my car has a dent in the drivers door. it was like that when i got it.

i got a quote for about 300 euro and that would be a proper job.
the dent is noticable, but its not scratched or rusted or any way paint dammaged...

i got a call a few weeks ago about the car (ya only 1!!!!!!)
and i said it had a little dent .. i said to get a proper job would be 300 euro... and the caller got totally freaked out and statrtd saying it would cost thousands and wouldnt touch it!!!!!!
ugh

so any tips..
i cant really aford to fix it:(

If the paint is sound and the dent isn't near the doors edge or panel seams, and relatively small, a PDR technician might be able to fix it. Dentmagic, Dialadent, Autodent one of those guys. It is usually only e50 to e100 a panel, unless it is much worse and requires panel beating and a respray.

My thoughts would be, if your car is worth €10k, that either you'll have to sell it for €9,700 or you'll have to fix it for €300 and sell it for €10,000.

I'd say don't mention the dent and when people come to see the car, if they're not happy with it, say you've had it appraised for €300 and you'll knock it off the price.

You are probably better off getting the dent removed before you let the next potential buyer view it.
The Dent Doctor or others mentioned above will probably be able to sort you if there is no paint damage, also if the dent is near the side impact protection bar it can be difficult/impossible to remove.

If you can post a few pictures of the dent on here to give a better idea?
