"nudged" by fate, the TQ quest begins in earnest

I've been lusting for a 1991 200TQ for some time now, but kept finding
various reasons for not actively pursuing my quest.

This afternoon at 13:55 fate took a hand when my 89 100Q (207,000+ miles
and still running like when new) was rear-ended; luckily it was only a
property-damage accident (though my head took a pretty good bounce off
the headrest -- those things are HARD!), but it appears that there is
frame damage in addition to the compressed left rear quarter panel. 

I am a bit nervous about what settlement my insurance company (Peerless)
will reach with that of the other driver (Allstate) because of the
mileage of my vehicle... anyone have any insights from recent first hand
experience?

Anyway, now I really want to find that 1991 200TQ: appreciate any leads
anyone might have, with emphasis on vehicles from non-northeast states,
and preferably in original trim except for upgraded (Eurolight)
headlights, plus full documented service history.  Heck, I'll consider
anything if it's a quattro, but I really want a '91 200TQ!

thanks!
