It is not your car. You are in no position to dictate what the actual owner of the car should or shouldn't fix. Of course you should pay for damage inflicted on her property by your child!
Why is this even a question?
This. This is why we have a nanny car. If my kid breaks or damages something, I get to decide how much effort to put into getting it repaired cheaply or decide not to repair it at all. If he/she damages someone else's car, all I get to do is ask for a receipt and write a check.
On the other hand $1600 is still less than the cost of an extra car.
