Right, final preparations are underway of auto-samuri for the fun and games that are part-exing it. I’m not interested in selling it privately so don’t bother suggesting that.
It’s…a little tatty. Great inside, no problems there. When I clean it up it’ll look great. Outside….hmmm. Wheels are a bit battered. I’m sure once I clean them (I never have in 7 years), there will be loads of scraped bits on the alloy. Are there any alloy wheel paints/touch up products that are any good?
Paintwork. There’s one small ding on the rear wing and a variety of scratches you’d associate with a 9 year old car.
I guess my question is, do people who sell cars a lot more regularly than me think there’s any benefit in doing this stuff or will the car trader just take a quick look at it and give me the book price?
