Firstly, you should not have disclosed that you recently purchased the car.. not really any of the ins companies business.
Ok, so now you're in a position where you have to do the dance.. as they are probably looking to total based on year, and perceived value.
What I would suggest is that you begin to look at and make copies/documentation of what cars similar in year and condition have recently sold for.. or are offered at.. You can use the Pelican Forum, ebay, and Hagerty Ins values.. you may also want to check Kelly Blue Book online.
You'll do this to both suggest that you know what your car is worth and that you are not going down without a fight! If all else fails defer to them with.. "fine, you guys go out and find me a car of equal value.. in essence, you replace my car." Won't likely happen, but it's an "oh sh**" moment for them where they are used to getting duh.. ok.
Good luck!
