A professional appraiser should be able to look at the car even now and give
you an appraisal as to it's value when it was pristine.  Do you have photos
of the car and any receipts? Get two appraisers, your car looked good
(albeit squashed)in the photos. Don't get mad - OK it's too late - but focus
that energy on getting what is "rightfully" yours. Bury them in paper, get
anybody who knew the car to put their opinion of its condition in writing.

You paid for insurance. The other driver was insured, you survived almost
unscathed (amazing!). Go get what's yours by right! A reasonable replacement
of equivalent value. Don't get mad - just don't stop pestering them until
they finally decide it's not worth the grief of having you hounding them.

FWIW
