Reselling/trading with a broken pano
Hi all, new to posting but I'm aware a broken panoramic roof (clip on one side snapped off) is an expensive fix. I'm looking to get rid of this car by the end of the year - should I expect the broken pano to knock off $2-3k? More? Just wondering if it's worth fixing before selling or trading in.

If you do advertise the car as is with broken equipments, you will get alot less inquiries then a car without problems.
If you are planning to knock off $3k off, I would just buy the $10 clip and spend the expensive labor to fix it.

I'm with stockbmw. Myself, when I'm shopping for a used car if anything is listed as not working I will quickly pass. To me, it shows a lack of maintenance and also shows me that the owner did not have the financial resources to take care of things or just flat-out didn't care. Who knows what else was not fixed.
