To shade...or not to shade
If your plan is to fix it, and let the dealer know.......just take it to the dealer and get it fixed. If Nissan fixes it, it can be resold by them for a higher price if its a Certified Nissan Pre-Owned. If you fix it somewhere else, they will not be able to sell it Certified. Hence they wont give you that much on a trade......since they cant sell it for more money.
Like I said in an earlier post, if there is no structural damage, get it fixed and trade it in. Bumper crease, and new paint isnt something to lose sleep over if you dont tell them. Trading in a wrecked car with frame damage and not reporting it is B.S. Most grown men only want to be, and be treated 3 ways: Dont lie, dont cheat, dont steal. If you put a carbon hood on the car, that means you have to remove the stock one...then put the stock one back on before you trade it in. If the bumper needs to be replaced and painted, I dont see that as being shady. In the end with all the input....do what makes you feel comfortable, without compromising your own personal integrity.
