Sorry if this is in the thread and I could not find it.

No dis-respect but...

Its a 12 year old vehicle...

I would find some colour match paint and fix it yourself as best as possible.

When your buyer shows up show it to him and let them decide.

You'll never get your 750.00 back on a sale imo...
