This is so simple, where are the copies of the pics of the damaged car? If you can't produce them then this is a watre of time as you can't sell it with no pics.
Also if your a student, get some credit cards, rack up 5K of debt, I would imagine that you could get 2 x cards with 2.5K on each being a student and get it fixed and then sell it, if you can afford to loose 8K you might as well spend 5K and loose 5 and spend the 3K on advance driving lessons and a 2CV
