I'm about done with my 2000 Miata. It was great while it lasted--lots of fun, great car to drive, all of that. But... I think my posture has improved since I bought it or something. I used to fit it like a glove, but nowadays I'm hurting for headroom. It actually makes my back sore to drive it with the top up. And I find myself shlepping stuff around that doesn't fit in it. Seven years is plenty, it's time to move on.

So I'm going to use it as trade-in against something new, quite likely an 08 Highlander.

Question is: it's got a paint-scrape and broken fog lamp cowling on the front driver's-side bumper from when a certain resident of my home (I shan't say who, but her name rhymes with "blurkette") skeetched it against the retaining wall next to the driveway.

Should I get that repaired on my own before offering it as trade-in? Will I do better trading it in as-is and letting the dealership ding me for that?
