Passenger Door Scuff - Repair vs Replace

Featured Replies

Hi,

Was hoping someone who is cleverer than me can give me some advice please.

I bought my A6 back last September  for £5,000.00. It has 75k miles and 2008 condition was okay despite a few minor scratches on it, so thought I got a good deal.  After  buying the car  I learned that the passenger door doesn't initially open from the outside after un-locking the car, it only opens from the outside after you open it from the inside (if that makes sense). Despite this I was still proud of my car. In December I was trying to park and scraped it against a concrete post lol. The passenger side door has a massive scuff on it. Tried using T cut but no good as it went through the paint. 

The scuff is pretty bad and embarrassing if I'm honest, and I think it makes it less marketable if I ever were to sell it so I'd like to get this repaired. The best quote I've got to repair this is £250 from chips away. The door lock issue is frustrating but I can live with it but like the other issue it makes it less marketable. The best quote I've received for this £200. A part of me is thinking just get them both repaired, but that's a lot of money.

What would you do if you were in my situation?  Would you pay for the repairs? Sell the car? Replace the door?

Thanks for your help!

Vik
