a) We'll be selling my wife's 2010 Tahoe (approx 95K miles currently) in the near future. A friend of hers did a few hundred bucks of body damage to it when moving it a few weeks ago. They will pay for the repairs (plus rental car) out of pocket.
b) There is some other minor damage to a quarter panel and a fender for which repairs would be another few hundred bucks.
c) The dash is cracked which is common for Tahoes/Yukons/Suburbans. Don't plan to replace it as that is a very labor intensive project so quite expensive paying shop labor rates.
d) The windshield is significantly cracked from road debris. It passed inspection but is unsightly. We haven't priced a replacement but I imagine somewhere around $400-500.
e) My wife had a fairly costly accident a few years ago, hitting an immovable object in a parking lot. Primarily damage to the suspension/undercarriage which was all repaired. But that will be on the CarFax report.
My question is, generally speaking what would be the return on vehicle value if the repairs in b and d were done vs leaving those issues as is?

I am not the Six Million Dollar Man, but I might need that surgery. "We have the technology, we can rebuild him!"
