Trade in with scratch?

my car got keyed awhile ago and i'm trading it in. It's not to deep but quite long I was wondering if trading it in without fixing it will lower the trade in value by alot?

depends on dealer and how they feel about it. try and buff it out as much as possible and park your card in the shade, so when they go out to look at it they wont see it.

A scratch is a scratch.

The dealer can always come back and get you afterwards for undisclosed damage.

Trade it in as-is.

You guys do this maybe once every 2 years, we do this every day.

Trust me, it's VERY rare for anyone to get away with anything.
