So some of you may remember my collision about a month ago. Long story short, the car is a total loss, though I will keep the car with a salvage title, and then fix it as much as I can with the help of some helpful people I met through some other boards and then sell it.

I bought the car almost exactly 2 years ago for $3,200. Since then I've poured thousands into it for new parts and service, to keep it up and improve its appearance. I sent both insurance companies 20+ pages of records and they both increased value roughly from $3,500 to $5,500, with the at fault party's insurance giving out slightly more.

So my question is, do you think I should accept the $5,500 or keep fighting for anything else. As is, I plan on at least switching out the perfectly good t-start and almost new Pilot Sport PS2's and selling those on the side and putting the OEM wheels on, and then selling the E34 as a salvage..so should I keep trying or just accept that amount? Any ideas on how I can increase the value any more? Thanks guys.
