Geographic search expansion too?

First thing is to validate the offer you received for your damaged car. Based on a quick search I did for used 9-5s in the Detroit area under $8K price, I was shocked to see how many miles are on cars selling at that price point. Historically the Detroit used car market was a bargain basement compared to other parts of the country simply becuase so many people either worked in the auto plants or had a relative who did, and the local mentality is to switch cars every two years or so.
Based on what I saw for used 9-5 prices in the Detroit market your insurance settlement may be too low.
Second item is to consider expanding your geographic search area. You may be able to find the car you want at a price low enough in another area to cover the travel costs.
