Consider a number that is acceptable to you plus a condition that you can take parts from the car. Let them know what you want. Pull your $aleable mods and then the headlights, seats, fenders, hood, and front bumper (mod money or pocket money). The adjuster will not have the time and appetite to go back there to inspect and will simply send the car to a jobber for salvage. Good luck.
