Another 'insurance' question

Two weeks ago our 2006 9-5 wagon was crunched by a semi "tractor" trailer (that's what I call them at least). The estimate for repair was around $7000. Well, I've been dealing with the trucking company directly, which is a little different than a Geico or a Progressive, etc. They have offered me a $5000 settlement said I can keep the 'salvage' to sell, as they don't get involved with that type of routine. I guess I'm looking for opinions on whether this is way off base, sort of like Saabnet being my arbitrator! I thought the offer is low, but I am emotionally attached to my vehicle :) Vented seats, I know all the maintenance has been done, etc.
These are all the 2006 wagons for sale in the US on cars.com:
Mileage Retail Price
Black 69654 $16,000
Black 56631 $11,999
Gray 67036 $11,577
White 69484 $10,499
Red 86580 $9,990
Silver 78810 $8,874
Black 91000 $8,000
Silver 119205 $7,950
Blue 108972 $7,488
Colors are just for me to distinguish them, but my mileage is around 106000, so the last two are 'closest' in terms of mileage. I provided this info and they simply said, we don't owe you retail, we owe you ACV (Actual Cash Value). Well, I can't buy a similar wagon for $5000 so it is only natural to push back, right?
What's everyone think? I could suggest small claims court to them to see if they budge.
