Most insurance policies are written in a way that does not allow a person to receive a NEW car. Typically, an at fault driver is responsible to pay back the book value of your used car. This does not always seem fair (especially when people owe more on a car than the car is worth), but that is usually what is owed. I would suggest you check out several online sources to see the value of your vehicle. Two popular sites are www.kbb.com and www.nada.com.
Best of luck.
