The $1,000 vehicle, is it one of those statutory write offs or a repairable? Swap your panels over?

If you can find alternative transport, got some time, the room for spares and workshop tools, then maybe do the change over yourself. You'll know the vehicle a lot better in the end, and that can be very important when dealing with workshops and if you end up doing some remote travels. As the saying goes, Land Rover, turning drivers into mechanics since 1947. Good luck.
