Complete BS.
One thing you should do without doubt is get a complete and thorough detailing done. Around here you can get the whole thing done including: wax and buffing, engine steaming, and interior shampoo for about $100. Of course, I live in a majority black neighborhood and we have lots of good local detailing places, lots of competition and the job gets done right the first time. You will make back your money and more. Many people won't even notice the tire tread if the sidewalls are clean and bright.
You may want to have the dents pulled. The big ones at least. The technology has gotten pretty good and there are people that specialize in pulling dents so it may not cost as much as you think. New floor mats are never a bad idea either.
Lastly, advertise in as many places as you can and mention that it is a private sale. Many people don't want to buy from a dealer. The more people that see your add, the more offers you will get.
