Find the car you want and then crash into that one then buy it from the owner and fix it

having an accidental crash won't help you at all. They'll deduct the deductible from the check they cut (which will be low ball of course) and then you'll be stuck without a car and may even go to jail if an insurance adjuster or the company finds out that it was "accidental".

Do the right thing, get it fixed and trade it in. Yes you will be loosing 500-1000 dollars for the deductible, but you'll either have a TL in good shape that you may still enjoy or have an asset that you can trade in on a 6Spd TL.
