Can minor scratches and dents on a BMW 2 Series reduce its resale value significantly in Pakistan?

My BMW 220i has some visible scratches and small dents from daily use. How much do these imperfections affect resale prices in Pakistan, especially when selling to used car dealers o r individual buyers?

Yes, dents and scratches do impact resale value, but the extent depends on severity:

Minor scratches can reduce resale by 5–10%, especially if noticeable in photos o r inspections.

Larger dents o r paint peeling might value by 10–20% o r more.

Pakistani buyers and dealers look for well-maintained paint and bodywork, so addressing cosmetic damage before sale helps maximize price.

Investing in paint correction o r dent repair before selling often recoups the repair cost in the final sale price.
