+1 one on not keeping the car. we had a Tahoe that T-boned a minivan in a similar situation. It wasn't totaled but after the repairs it was never the same.
two more things...a family friend's son recently totaled their prius and the insurance company gave them almost $3k more that KBB value for the car. Maybe they were just lucky, but it doesn't seem right that they are shorting you by that much.
Also, you might want to talk to your own insurance company about the whole situation. Sometimes they will go after the other guy for you. Good luck with everything!
