I'm going to sell one of my Mercedes, the 1985 190D 2.2 stick shift with about 148k miles on it. Mechanically, it is perfect, as well as the interior. However the clear coat is pealing off quite drastically making the car look terrible. Should I pay the expense to have it repainted before listing it for sale, or just let it go as is?

And if I can ask, where would be the best place to sell it? Not many people understand and appreciate a stick shift diesel, (present company excluded), especially one that is a 31-years old.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
