Look at it from a buyers perspective. If you were looking for a car like yours, you would go with a car that didn't have a cracked glass, missing wheel cover, worm mats. Grab some compound and polish out the scuffs as best as you can. And at the very least replace the mats with something that is not ugly, clean the car inside and out, get a new wheel cover if you can.
The key to selling is presentation. If it is spotlessly clean and shiny, people will tend to buy with emotion and overlook the smaller stuff. Always always take good pictures in good light. Again, people will buy with emotion, when they see a great looking car in the ad, the idea of how good the car has already been formed, and when they see it in person whatever flaws they find will probably be rationalized away.
