1. Spend the 3K to fix it and sell it privately?
2. Spend the 3K to fix it and trade it in?
3. Trade it in as is?

What are you experiences?
DEFINITELY not #2, dealers will never give you any of that $3k

I'd say SELL IT Privately, as is

YOu'll still get $8k for it as-is, and not have the risk of spending $3k to fix, and still only getting $8k

Trade would be okay too.... hassle free!

bottom line: don't spend any money on the car, you won't see any of it back.
