What to do with a trashed car?

So I did a buy here pay here for my mother's friend's adopted (at 17) daughter against my better judgment. No job, bad credit and on welfare. Her "mom" slapped down $1000 and I financed the rest ($2500). I made the payments small ($133 per month) so she could afford them........

......3 months down the road she calls and says the rad. is leaking. I refer her to my mechanic and tell her not to drive it. I haven't heard from her since.

.......so after being late on her 1st 3 payments and not making the next 2 I repo finally the car. Get the report from my mechanic. Motor is toast. Sad thing is its a really clean 98 Maxima GLE, loaded, leather, etc. Now it has a smashed front fender and blown motor....sigh.

I'm upside down about $1000 and it will cost atleast $1500 to fix. Any ideas besides the scrapper?

I even googled fun motor swaps but there are none.....
