Fix heated seats or bad body work on Sienna?

If you had the money to repair only one of two problems on a Sienna, would you choose to fix:

a) the heated seats (leather upholstery)
or
b) re-repair old accident damage that wasn't done properly but is not obvious (i.e. we didn't catch it but a body shop did). The damage didn't affect the frame or anything like that.

There is a long story involving a court case, which I'll spare you from, but if we go to sell this vehicle after fixing, it would be helpful to know what you mamas think, since (like me) you would be the target market.

I know this is slightly off-topic, but I loved perusing the boards as we were deciding what minivan to buy, and I'd really value your input on this as well!

Thank you so, so much, and any comments are welcome!

Heated seats aren't as important to me as body damage I can see. Bad repairs make me more nervous than "yeah, the heated seats don't work. I dunno why." It's one thing for a part to fail and you disclose it. It's another to see a poor attempt at repair, which makes me wonder how bad the car is overall.

I agree with codex. My seat can deal with cold seats if it has to. Poor repairs make me nervous and make me wonder what else went wrong.

Well that makes it pretty simple, huh! Hubby was gunning for the body damage and I wasn't sure what to do. I can definitely see how bad body work, even if subtle, would make someone question the whole thing. If we'd caught it, it definitely would have made us back away (which we should have!) Thanks so much for your input!
