What year/model is it?

My car was keyed earlier this year, and it was about $6500 paid by the insurance company, including a rental car for 2 weeks. However, that was at a good repair shop which took off every body panel, etc. You could probably get it painted at some cheap place for $500 and then buy some stock rims for $500 or so, and make out well selling the car whole. This is, of course, if you have ~ $7000 to invest in it.

How much are they giving you total (which I assume they'd just reduce by $5500 if you want the car)?
