What happened to it?

If it's minor damage like a scuff on the bumper and a mangled plate frame then I'd just trade it in like that.

Hmmm... i dont know... i'd say get an estimate, and if its anywhere around 300-400$, you should get it repaired before you trade it in, if not, leave it as is...

Yeah, I would not put too much money into fixing that damage. Chances are the car will just be sold at auction anyways, just try to pretty it up as much as you can.

I think I will go get an estimate first and see whats up but good thing is the person i hit is cool and will let me pay out of pocket so most likely i wont have any insurace premium hikes
