Ask Cars: Body Repair Before Resell?

posted 9 months ago

Hey Lemmy. I have a 2010 Toyota Camry with 150k miles. The front bumper’s bottom segment (maybe 2 inches) has a crack and the grill is out of place. Also, there’s a couple small scratches in the paint elsewhere. Would it be worth it to have the bumper repaired as well as the paint touched up before selling it? I was given a quote of $1500 for the bumper repair but haven’t inquired about the scratches. Thanks in advance!

+1 on cleaning the headlights. A restore kit is like $30 and can earn you hundreds when it comes to resale.
