Will the resale value of the car decline by more than $800 due to a dent? Would we be better off repairing it before selling/trading it in or just selling as is?

Hard to say. You likely will only get somewhere between $1,000 - $3,000 as a trade. Is it worth it to spend $800 probably not. Jsut know going in that they are going to try and ding you about $1k becasue of it..
