Maintenance/Repairs

My 19 year old Explorer limited was in its first and only collision today. I was T-Boned during a turn and thus received a bit of damage to my left rear door. Despite my cars age, it was in pretty good condition all things considering before this damage. Despite that KBB values it at like $350 which is what the insurance company would probably total my car out to. I can probably ask for more if we settle without insurance (to avoid raising those premiums) but in general is the damage worth repairing? The repair would exceed the KBB price of the car but likely not the average private sale price. What do you think?
