Should I get my bumper fixed before selling the car?

Got my bumper smashed in by some retard yesterday. Came out of the bar to find a big hole in the corner of my bumper, about 8inches in diameter.

I'm only insured for collision so getting this fixed comes right out of my pocket. I'm putting the car up for sell in less then a month.

SHould I get the bumper fixed? Or sell the car as is? It would probably cost 300-400$ to get it fixed.

Check to see what the car is worth on kbb or whatever. If your car is worth next to nothing a hole in the bumper wouldn't make much difference. It essentially comes down to which is cheaper. Will you lose less than $300-400 on the cars value selling as is?

Car would sell for 3000-3500$. Thats what I don't know, if it would be cheaper to get it fixed. Or if I lose more money selling it like that.

I would sell it for cheaper than try to have it fixed.

Let someone else deal with the headache.
