<prompt> Human: I live in Boston where I dont have a driveway so my car was parked on the street. Today I came out to it and the front fender was totally dented and cracked and the drivers side tire was punctured and flat. As I rarely drive - I rely on public transportation - and the car is 8 years old with over 100k miles, I have liability only. I filed a police report and called my insurance but they wont cover anything without collision coverage. The car was going to be worth like 3k before the damage according to KBB. But now they wont even price it with all the damage and the instant cash value is 1k. I am wondering if I should pay the money to fix the damage and sell it I do have the money and Im assuming I could make it back when selling it? or should I just sell it as is, with the damage still? I feel its unlikely we can find the culprit as it was parked in a neighborhood where I doubt there are any cameras.  <response>: For a 3k vehicle Id get some junk yard replacement parts or just sell as is. Itll cost too much to have it fixed professionally.
