So I'm settling into a new job, and financially it is nowhere near where it was when I was modding the SC. I don't plan on keeping the SC for long (could be as short as a couple months), but I'm needing some advice on what to do. My biggest concern is that I believe some (or all) of the shocks are blown. There are other small issues like an oil leak, some dents (that bug me to no end) and peeling tint on the passenger window. I'd just like to know what you guys would do to keep yourself from despising your SC in the interim.

First off I have to say, your car looks great man. I would go ahead and replace as much stuff as you can, but if you are going to sell it to make money, then I would leave it like it is. You will spend more in repairs than you will taking the loss on it. For example. The AC compressor went out on my 400, and it was going to be in excess of 200 to fix, the person offered me 100 off my asking price and I took that instead of spending 200 and getting my asking price of the car. Let us know what you are more interested in.
If I was you, I would fix the shocks, dents, and tint. Leave the oil leak alone for now, just make sure you keep oil in the motor. I feel the same way, I HATE door dings to no extent and I have counted aproximatly 14 that will be removed from my car for 150 bucks, which will make me so much happier, and then to the back of the parking lot I will stay haha. I hope it all works out for ya man, and I dont think its going to take long for your car to sell!

CarFreak, thanks so much for your honest and thorough feedback (and compliment)! That's good advice, and I might go that route. I do want to increase the selling price, but I would honestly be surprised to get any more than $5k for it, so that's not too much of an issue. I guess for sentimental value, I'd like to enjoy the final days with the SC. If you don't mind my asking, did you do paintless dent removal on your dents?

No, I did not. I had a place called eXtreme do mine. It was 200 for 14 removed, and they were all over. Not just door. Rear quarter, front, back, side to side, but I didnt have any on the top
