Mine had a salvage title and I had about 4K in it. I hit a deer and totalled it. Insurance company gave me $7500. Salvage title didn't matter, car not being painted didn't matter. Wrecking the Z was one of the better things that happened to me, although the car was down for some time.

Car is a 1997 Z28 M6 T-tops and loaded. Had ~140K on the clock at the time of the accident. I bought the car back for $800. I put another core support in it and replaced the fenders, hood, and front fascia (all out of a roller 94 for $500) and got it painted among other things.

Just keep telling the insurance company no and it will go up eventually. If you are confident in your auto body skills, you can have a nice cheap car. The only thing will be a salvage title. Those get from point A to B just as good as a clean titled car- IF done right.

That post was very very inspiring and helpful to me right now. I hope this works out as good for me as it did for you!
