Need advice

Hey folks,
I've not been active on the list (ever) but have been a member since
1997 or so. But I ask for some help/advice. My '97 200SX SE-R was
recently rear-ended (totalled) by a Fed-Ex truck while it was legally
parked on the street. The car was pretty much mint before this, no
wrecks, no body damage, and I bought the car new.
The wreck is now in my driveway. I've spent a good deal on
aftermarket parts, and I've removed the easy bits, strut braces, POP
charger, and minor cosmetic bits.
I've really cared for this car, and meant to keep it a long time. It
still has a full set of UR pulleys, a gen 5 hotshot header, a JWT ECU,
'91 intake cam, a powder-coated valve cover, heh, and I've changed the
oil every 3000 with Mobil-1. The motor is immaculate.
The insurance wants to offer me $4300 for it and TAKE it. I would
never have been willing to sell it for that before the 'accident.' And
they want to give me about $3000 for it if I keep the car. I believe
I'm being screwed here.
I could easily pull the ECU, but I have no stock one to replace it
with, so I'd be willing to sell that cheaply. I could also swap out the
header, I have the original, but I'd have to do some work. (I did
install the header myself.} Can't do the pulleys myself, too hard.
I've never had to deal with something like this before, so I ask for
advice, what would any of you do in this situation?
Thanks all
Brax
