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.

PPF has minimal, if any impact on car value. Sure, a dealer may deduct 250 (their cost) for repainting a front or rear bumper, but an entire car with PPF wont impact the trade in because dealers want to sell you PPF, not sell one with it.
My second G80 M3 had about 10K worth of PPF - the car was frozen dark grey and all the frozen panels were done in stealth Xpel, then all of the gloss parts; the roof, side skirts, OEM CF exterior package, window trim were all wraped in gloss. While my trade in value was good, I didnt get more than another car that didnt have any PPF.
