what is my car worth? (important)

Well i got into my second accident in one week this time the car is totaled. I just have **** for luck. i got rear ended again this time by a girl in a monte carlo who was racing another girl in an escort zx2 to the merger point of the road, but i am the one who lost! Neways the bumper is smashed to pieces and both quarter panels just buckled completely and bent in half and both doors are smashed. luckily both me and my gf walked away with just major neck and back pain. We got into opposing traffic as well but the other car swerved to miss us, it wasn't pretty! neway i want to know how much i should hold out for for the car. Its a 1988 sport coupe, 305 v8 engine w/ 133,xxx miles on it some surface rust above the passenger wheel well clean int except for sagging headliner and torn drivers seat, i am the second owner of the car even have the window sticker and everything. so how much should i hold out for i am think $2,100, to high? i have another 900 dollars coming from what it was gonna cost to fix the car from the first accident plus pain and suffering from both i should be getting a really decent thirdgen!

I really dont see you getting anything for it, unless you find some moron, rear end damage in a third gen is gonna be expensive to fix in the first place, and i sure as hell wouldnt be trying to fix a 88 sports coupe with a 305 TBI

Id part it out, youd prolly get more money, or the junk yard will take it for $50

no u misunderstand or maybe i wasn't clear i want to know how much i should hold for from the insurance company. i wasn't at fault and they will most certainly total the car. thanks for your input though.

I heard people talk crap about Fords before, but an F250 doing 50 while parked is just too much!
