It will be almost impossible for you to find a buyer for the car now. I’m sorry to hear you’ve ended up in this predicament.
Having said all this I’m also baffled the insurance company didn’t cut their losses and just total the car. What a shame.

Believe me I wanted nothing more than to have this car totaled. The insurance wasn't having it. They set the threshold to total it at $48k and stated they wouldn’t consider it a total loss unless the repair estimate went over that. Talked to the insurance today and the body shop is eating the cost for my rental the last few weeks and for the list of repairs above. Car is being given back to me tomorrow or Monday.
I agree the car is essential worthless after this. But, gotta make the best of it and just keep it till I can move into another car.
