Rust...would repainting increase resale value?

Here are some pics of the frame, truck is fine mechanically, would need a new set of tires. Has a new aftermarket touchscreen radio installed. Im just unsure on how to go about getting the most possible. Also bought a headlight restoration kit that I am gonna try. Serious question, what would y'all value this at? With no cosmetic repairs besides headlights and it runs fine and is good mechanically.

 

frame looks good. depends on the buyer. somebody who just wants a work truck or wheeler will not care about the paint and it wouldn't be worth your expense. might try selling it as is, and if there are no biters - then consider painting

 

personally, i am looking at some trucks as a third vehicle for yard work, etc. and i wouldn't care about that paint issue.

 

yeah frame looks good and thats a common issue with that color. Just run it, you wont get what you invest back to fix paint when you sell it.

 

Every vehicle I've bought or sold in the last 5 years has been within reason of the range kbb.com estimated.

It's not worth the effort to fix beyond simple clean & buff based on pics in my opinion. Upgraded stereo or other mods don't add much. Better off putting stock parts back in and keeping or selling the aftermarket parts separately if you don't mind the labor of remove/reinstall yourself.

Dealers are paying pretty good right now to get inventory put on the lot.

 

Year, model, 4wd, prerunner, ac cab, dc, mileage etc?
