$19,500 certainly seems like a generous, but fair offer. Especially if you could keep the car. If the car is really rust free and solid its probably fixable for the $5k figure. I'd take the money and run. Happy shopping.

A guy on the 944 bb had his early 80s silver 944 rear ended so hard that it wouldn't be fixed even if it were new. The insurance company's first offer was 5k. He balked and was offered 6.3k which could get him into a decent 951 if he was a diligent shopper. He should be happy, too.

You got a great deal on the car, so now be elated with your profit.
