I would think any prospective buyer would consider any one who is prepaired to have a front end respray to keep there Gti looking mint a bonus a extra coat of paint wouldnt put me off .
agreed, just tell the buyer and it will actually help you sell not the other way round
I would rather sell the new R, I just want to try and keep my ed30 mint and rather than leave it to become a bigger job id rather keep on top of it and spend some money now.
As I said, you will have to do some serious work to get the paintwork matching the rest of the panels after a respray. The other thing you need to consider is after a respray, your making the paintwork even softer showing up more chips and road rash!.
I considered this hugely, but was told by several people in the know, that respraying is the absolute last result.
@scooba , you have a Pm fella, I would let my recommendation look at it, and let him see it . Yours doesn't sound as bad as mine was and that your best of going for polish and paint correct, and have the chips wet sanded.
