Kelly blue book values it any where between $3,000-$5000 because I have some damage on the passenger side.
The dealerships I’ve gone to offer $1,500-$2,000

Dude stop going to dealerships for things. Sell to a private party on Craigslist and you’ll get 2x the price for that accord.

Fix it and drive it until it dies. Unless you really need a new car or if this one is gonna be a lot of money to maintain.

Is that for a trade in though? Private party will definitely be more.

I really hope you see this message.
Just this week I went to trade in my '14 Jeep Grand Cherokee on a '19 CX-5. I took good care of the Jeep but it had an engine tick pretty common for that engine. The dealership went from a $8,000 offer to $2,000 because they said it was an expensive fix.
Obviously I said no. That day I went on Carvana and was (let's say) generous with my description of the vehicle. I was well prepared to take a reduction in their offer when they test drove/looked it over.
Two days later I go to deliver it. The guy only turned the engine on to get the mileage and then said "Okay, here's where you sign". I got $8,200.
Sell your car to Carvana dude, while it's still this easy. And when I say easy, I mean insanely, incredibly easy.
