What can increase the value to a used car

I have been asked to sell a relative's 16 year old Saab. Unfortunately, it is not in the best shape but it has not been neglected too much. The driver smoked despite years of recommendations to quit.
My ideas are:
1. Try to lessen the smoke smell by wiping all plastic surfaces well, vacuum and steam clean the carpet, open the windows for weeks.
2. Question: how about bringing the routine maintenance up to date. For example, the air filter and spark plugs are 10,000 miles past due. Or is this not cost effective?
3. General wash and wax.
4. Ther is a dent on the trunk. It is about the size of an apple and maybe 1/3 to 1/2 inch deep. I don't know if it is worth it to fix?
