You should be able to get much more than people have posted here. If they aren't willing to pay the money to fix it properly, they must give you enough $$$ to by a similar replacement.
The key is to NOT be in a hurry. The insurance company wants to get you to settle quickly.
They will lie, cheat, steal to get you to settle. If you don't like the deal they offer, just tell them no. Eventually they will really, really want to get it off their books.
You can also involve your state department of insurance if you don't get a reasonable deal in a couple months or so. The insurance companies do not want that level of hassle.
My 86 turbo got totaled back in 2011. I got more than double the insurance company's original offer. They started at $6K and ended up over $13K and I kept the car.
