Fix before selling/trading?
Fix before selling/trading?
I have an '03 Honda Civic w/ 41,000 miles on it. The wear and tear on it:
-front end damage (just cosmetic, but probably $800-1k total) from someone backing into it in a parking lot
-crack in windshield all the way across (below field of view) along with 1 or two pebble sized knicks
-needs new tires
-and the SRS light (picture of dude & airbag) just came on this morning
The car runs great, and I've never had any problems other than the above with it.
I'm hoping to sell it privately or trade it in to get a new car (probably upgrade to the Accord, not sure yet though). Which of these things should I invest my time (or maybe my money) in fixing before doing that?
I know this post is somewhat not exactly a "how do I..?" topic, but this was the more relevant place it seemed to me to put it.

I have the same issue with our Civic - scraped front bumper, and probably change to a sedan sometime. I think the appearance matters a lot, so it's probably worth the money to fix the windshield/front.
I don't think you'll need to change the tires.
