Totaled an old car in good condition. How do I minimize my loss?
I totaled (this will likely be the decision from Geico) my 2005 Civic. I was not at fault.

It had 140,000 miles on it. According to Kelly blue book it's worth $1,000 - maybe less.

But it's actually still drivable. The driver's side doors are destroyed and their is a dent in the frame. The repair estimate is $3,800.

I expected it to last for many (100,000+) more miles.

Is there anything I can do to minimize my financial loss? Or do I just take the crumbs Geico offers me and move on?
