DH and I had just made up our mind to sell our 2015 Honda Pilot. We may simply stick with one car. When we got home from the supermarket the other day, we noticed a couple of small, but noticeable, dents, which must have happened in the parking lot (see attached image).
DH went to a local auto body shop, and they were swamped. They promised but did not give us an estimate.
Here's the question. If this were a few hundred dollars, I would pay it and be done. But if it is $1-2,000 I am not so sure.
I know that used Hondas are very popular.
If I went to the dealer (who could presumably fix it wholesale), would they ding me the same $2000? NOTE: I am just guessing on the high end.
Does anyone have recent experience with this type of auto body repair?
Also, comments/guesses welcome about whether to fix this before trying to sell it.
I guess we could also try a private sale and maybe they would not care at all!
Thanks!
