If you don't feel you did it, refuse to pay,

If she wishes to pursue it, she can then sue you, and a court will decide. If she does nothing in court, you never end up paying.

She would have to get a judgment against you in court in order to make you pay. The amount does not sound high enough to warrant her suing you but she might in small claims court. You should not pay if you did not damage her car. If you do have to go to court bring as witnesses people who heard her say the car had been broken into previously and argue that the car might have been damaged then.
