Should I sell my Panda 4x4 now?

I have a Petrol Fiat Panda 4x4, just 2 years 6 months old. Mileage 21k.

1. I quite fancy the either the new Panda 4x4 or Skoda Fabia which is non 4x4. Would it be sensible to sell current car while the value should still be quite high?

2. Condition is excellent but in a recent tangle with gate post there rear nearside door got dented. Should I spend on a dent removal or just offer for sale as is?

Old model Panda 4x4s have been fetching strong money this winter, but I doubt they will continue to do so once Spring arrives. I'd offer for sale as it is so the buyer can see the damage, but get some estimates for the repair from dent specialists: www.honestjohn.co.uk/faq/damage/
