Charlie,
My 1989 900 SPG was rear ended about three years ago. It was deemed a total loss.
The insurance company said that my car was worth $1100 but with the spot of rust that it had on the hood (rock chip). It was only worth $800.
I was furious
Yes it had 220,000 miles. but it was in great shape. I fought that $800 up to $1500 after sending in classified ads from this very site of equivalent vehicles. I then fixed the hatch, drove it for a year. then sold it for $750 for parts. In the end I made out, but boy did I have to fight.
They will expect you to accept their first offer, usually it is low. Best of luck.
