sell or part exchange or other??

broke_babydee

i have a 53 plate white nissan micra with only one lady owner before me and a mileage of 25,000 there abouts...its only 3door and as im expecting a baby in march my partner and i want me to have a 5 door car with bigger boot for baby stuff!!
the micra was my first car and i had a scrape in it, so the back wheel arch has quite a big dent. More annoyingly though someone must have reversed into the front of the car in tescos carpark as i was greeted one day with a huge dent on the front bumper right where the badge is :mad: and to top it all off one of my ''mates'' put a nasty fag out on my back seat:mad:
i have been unlucky with this car!! although its a lovely little run around.
am i right in thinking no one will want to buy this off me?? well for a good enough price anyway!?

Here's a private seller with something like yours but without the damage for £2500.

Can't see you getting more than £1500 with the damage you describe.

No. No dealer is going to want it except at a very low price.

The trouble is that bodywork damage makes people think 'careless owner'.

well thats so unfortunate as i explained i was rather unlucky with my first car!!
would it be worth my while getting the damaged fixed as im sure you can understand with a baby on the way and the need for a bigger car i really need to avoid being stuck with a worthless car
