Negotiate with the insurance company. If they want to total, see if you can buy it from them as part of the settlement. I've know many people to do this. Also, talk with the body shop people. They have an upper hand on this type of thing. The "insurance cost" vs "your cost" may be very different. Some used parts may be used to help lower the cost. Chances are, 4k is a low number for the work you described.
