Default Spots being repainted, worth it?

My uncles x-bf is going to fix some spots on my car. He works at a the collision center in Tampa and said he will do it for a few hundred bucks. Repaint the bumper to exact color, fix the scratches ( picture 2 ), fix the spots on my roof ( pic 3 ) and some other small areas. Worth it? Hes not going to just put touch up paint on, hes gonna sand it all down, and paint it the right way.

x-bf.

I wished he would of said a price range, but I'm thinking $200-400 and he said I can just do payments or whatever,
he don't need it all now which is good, college is expensive lol.

if it's something that you want to do, i would get it done.. that is a good deal to get a whole front bumper re-sprayed as well as a couple touch up spots.. your car will be much easier on your eyes

broke college students FTL!

I'm just wondering how much a body shop would charge to do it but I trust him, and know he will do a good job.

Thanks! Bad thing is, you pay $200 for a book, and the college will buy it back for $19.99, then sell it for $180, used.

haha i f*ckin hate that **** with the books!! i know you can sell and buy online, but im too lazy.. i have yet to sell a book back to college. i have like 12 books just chillin in my room haha.. i really gotta hop on that.

what you can do is look for someone that is taking the same class that you already took and than sell it to that person for half of what you paid. everybody wins

and $200 for that all would be a great deal i would say
