Example, $4000 in repairs, they offer me $3500.

For $500, I could basically keep the car, and still drive it forever (only 75k miles!).

I don't understand why you are not grasping the basic economics of your situation. It never makes rational economic sense to spend $4,000.00 on something that is worth only $3,500.00. You lose $500 bucks by doing this. It is -EV. Period.
