Escape HAIL DAMAGE

Hey guys, I'm gonna be getin rid of my escape soon and I'm wondering if there are any tricks to removing hail damage (dents are not lare, nor are they deep). Mine has 74923 miles, a few small scratches (easly fixable), clean interior, 4x4, automatic, v6, NEW: Tires, break line, master break cylinder, new axel seals. Judging from the info I gave you, what would you guys offer? I wanna get some ideas of how much I should sell it for (and yes, I have checked KBB). Thanks, Nick.

P.S.-I'll post a pic later; I don't have 25 posts yet

You could have the dents removed, depending on how many you have. It may pay off in the selling price. A local guy here called the Ding King can take out dents by "massaging" the metal on the back side. When I bought my truck, there were 2 dents in the door (no damage to paint). I had this guy take them out because those were the only flaws on the whole truck. I thought it would probably look better, but there was no way they could be perfectly taken out. Well I was pleasantly surprised. This is a shiny black truck, & you literally can't see any sign of a dent ever being there. & I have done a lot of painting & body work in my life too.
