That alone is a tell tale about the owner and type of car im getting before I even see it or meet them. Someone willing to spend a few grand and properly protect their investment vs someone who has the "fuck it, i'm gonna sell it and it's gonna lose value anyways" mindset.. ask yourself who you'd rather buy a car from.

Just my $0.02. Bit bias as I do detailing and offer PPF services, and my M2 has near full body. Full Front on a M2 will probably cost $2-3k. People spend that alone on a cheap set of wheels and some tires or an exhaust. It's all about what you as an owner prioritize and see value in.
I do agree it adds some value if you are selling privately, but a dealer trade-in won't care.
