Hi Gerry,

Ordinarily, a low-mileage 141 Yaris Sol like this should be worth well into five figures, probably something like €11,500 to €12,000. It’s not just the cost of the repair work that will put buyers off, though, but the hassle of having to get it done themselves – plus, the Yaris Sol is not a rarity so buyers can easily go and look at alternative examples that are not showing cosmetic damage. We’d therefore recommend getting the car fixed for sale first to get the best possible price, but we’d also say that €1,500 for a couple of scrapes and a dint sounds like a lot of money; are you getting that price through a main dealer? You might be better looking at a third-party bodywork repair specialist.
