Ironically, I have a 71 GT which was hit from behind around 10 years ago. The
damage was over $4 Grand to repair. After hassle, the insurance co. wrote me
a check for the total repairs, a generous one, which may have exceeded the
value of the car in their mind but my position was that the car was unique
and unless I got a really big amount, I wanted to be made whole with my car.
The car was worth saving to me. I am still using the car and enjoy driving
it. It probably looks better now than before the accident.
Bottom line, you have a right to be made whole and the determination of what
that means should be your decision as long as your argument is reasonable or
supportable. The ins co should just be grateful that no one was hurt....mel
