Something is wrong there. You should be receiving approximate retail value for a "totaled" car, which, unless it was in sad shape, should be somewhat north of $3,000.. NADA Guides is over $3,600 & even KBB is in that range, even with 239k.
That said, it's probably a total loss anyway. When someone backed into the driver door of my Y2K SE 5 years ago, the insurance paid out over $2,000 just for the door, plus my deductible.
MAKE SURE they know it is an Aero! When my Arc got totaled, the first quote came back with Linear pricing.
My insurance uses an industry standard price book, not KBB (who I'd never trust to price a car for me). NADAGuides ended up being very close to what I was paid for the two 9-5s I lost, including the one that killed a bear...
