What to do with my banged up fit

So I crashed my 2008 Honda fit a bunch of times several years ago, and never fixed it. All cosmetic, but damn, it looks terrible. People double take. Random strangers yell "Fix your car!".

I'm looking to get a 2016 fit. Two dealers offered me 1,500 for trade, which surprises me. I'm wondering if they are planning on bait and switch right before the sale. I doubt they are taking a cut on the trade for the sale, as I talked them down to 16,000 for an LX destination fee included.

So, what do you think this car is worth?

If fixed up, KBB says that car is $5200 to $6300

It has easily 4000 worth of damage to it (if a regular shop fixed it).

Posted to CS/Cargurus/facebook, tons of offers but below 2000.

Traded to dealer for 2000.

Sorry, but anyone who is willing to deface their car with bumper stickers really shouldn't care what their car looks like. At only 79,000 miles, I think you were crazy to trade it in for nothing. That car will run forever. Who cares what it looks like, especially considering it had to endure Buffalo winters. Someone is going to get a great car with easily another 100,000 miles of care free ownership.
