i'd have fixed it, you wont necessarily need to replace the fywheel although it is advised, for me i'd just fit a lightened single mass one, not much difference from dual mass in cost.
clutch shouldn't be more than £100 for a kit from a motorfactors (depends on release bearing of course)
labour should be a few hours, but not more than £100-150 i'd have thought.
i can't see it making enough money to justify selling it as it is, then again it's a catd so will put off alot of buyers.
