salvage value of my car

Sadly today, my beloved 2002 c230 coupe (six speed) met with an untimely end. Its not by any means totalled but it was a high speed accident that took the passenger side front corner of the car off more or less.

I don't want to fix it as I'm fairly sure it will never be the same again. I was not at fault in the accident and I would like to take the insurance money + the salvage value of the car and put it toward a new vehicle. What should I be looking to get for the wreck.

Thanks

Nothing less than full retail blue book - as replacement value. Not wholesale, not salvage, and go after the other driver for your deductable.
