Depends on a lot of things. It's a 10yr old car so I'd first assess how much longer I plan to keep it, the condition, etc. Then, the extent of the damage. Is it serious? Does it affect my driving? Is it likely to get me a ticket? Are there any holes in the body? $600 is not a lot of money but it is a small chunk toward s a downpayment on a car. If that's the route you are planning to go then you could sell what you have now or drive it into the ground and save up for a new car. I'd personally save up and go for the new car. Hail damage is a bi**h to fix. Plus, if you live in a place where it happened it's likely to happen again. Hope this helps, Good luck

So long as you didn't lose any glass or cause any other non-cosmetic damage then just pocket the cash. Hell, $600 is more than I've paid for most of my cars! I drive some FUGLY cars, and every one has been older than that. The last Toyota I owned had three sheared, rusty bolts where the passenger's rear-view mirror used to be but I never worried about it because I never planned on selling the car anyways.
