hey, my evo was also destroyed by a careless driver a few months back. i was rear ended while i sat stopped behind a landscaping truck, which had stopped to wait for the school bus.

i think my car booked nearly around where yours did, a little over $13,000. the insurance company gave me just shy of $18,000 on the nose for the car, it was a AS IX MR and while my mileage was pretty high (126,000) it was very clean. i did not take the full insurance payment and kept the totaled car which took $4200 off the amount they gave me. i had planned to find a clean shell to swap all my parts over into, but at the time i was right in the middle of moving into my new house and realized i would have absolutely nowhere to store this wrecked car at my new place. i sold it complete within three or four days of listing it for a little over $6k.

i think a clean, lower mileage car such as yours could get up to $19,000 from the insurance company. if you have any modifications or recent maintenance i would send them all the receipts and fight them tooth and nail for every penny you can. i have been searching day and night for another evo since the day i sold mine and have not been able to find a car priced even close to the same as mine was when i bought it unless they have ridiculously high miles, lots of questionable modifications, a salvage title, or other issue.

i hope things go for well for you and im sorry for your loss, but from my experience its tough to get back into a clean evo.
