I have a mechanically good 120,000m 2006 SE model with some paint chips to bonnet, key scratch to driver's door & slight flaking paint to wheel arches & also some alloy wheels. Inside some of the leather is worn as typical of any 15yr old car. None are bad enough to worry me, but are noticeable if the car is freshly washed.
I'm wondering if anyone can suggest its value both "as is" & also with the bonnet, door & arches repainted? (It's red with black tinted glass in case that affects value).

I believe it’s always best to sell an older car in its genuine condition and let the new owner decide what they’d like to do.
A painted car can put some buyers off. Defender 110 2.4 TDCi Utility Station Wagon.

IMHO I agree, at that age and mileage someone will be looking for a project they can put value back into, or a workhorse. You will narrow down your potential buyers in trying to get your refurb money back. D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten
