Yes, i agree some people would be put off. Which is why i originally said someone who's a perfectionist would want to get them refurbished. Its not in show room condition, and i'm not planning on asking for showroom condition money! I was thinking putting it on for £13,500 and seeing what the response is.
Personally i don't think the alloys are that bad. I've touched them up with black lacquer and you can't tell there's any issues from the photos i took yesterday, but if you get on your hands and knees you will see plenty of "wear and tear" all around the car.
So here's another question, how honest should you be in selling the car?
The car is 4 years old, it has done 51000 miles now, so in my opinion you should expect plenty of wear and tear!
The honest bits: its has a dog in the boot on a regular occasion and sometimes a surfboard on the roof!!!
Yesterday I found a second supermarket parking ding on the nearside rear passenger door!
There are some scratches on the black plastic backing to the front seats due to transporting things from Ikea etc.
I also scraped one of the black side skirts on a rock placed stealthily in a grass verge the week after i bought it, you cannot see it until you get on your hands and knees, but a perfectionist might want to get that skirt replaced, it doesnt bother me in the slightest though, as you can't see it unless your head is on the ground!!!
I hate the idea of selling the car because I love it, I'm only selling it because i want something i can tow with! (i have my eye on a beautiful silver 335bhp Jap Subaru Forester STi!)
So, do i put pics of the damage in the add, or leave a buyer to come and have a look and spot it for themselves? What's likely to put them off more?
This is such a pain in the ass....!!!
