Fiance killed my car - advice on salvage?

Ok, insurance company is really hurting me - they got an "offer" from salvage company for $7,000. But, they won't repair it for $11,000? All of the advice that I have received had informed me that they hardly ever give this much for salvaged vehicles. Apparently, for salvage, the same man advised me of its "rarity" (duh) in an e-mail 5 minutes ago but in e-mail 20 minutes before that claimed that "faded paint" took value down. I'm going to do some research about the ratio of salvage versus the ratio of declaring car a total loss - this just doesn't feel right to me.

Thanks for any advice,
Wendy
