ahh, sucks man. same shit happened to me on my first car, DSM, got rear ended and I only had liability. The guy told me he would give me money, but I would have to wait "a couple of weeks" 'cuz he was on probation for something and he didn't want to go to jail if I reported it to his insurance. The douche wasn't even carrying his license with him and told me to go to his house with him so he could show it to me. Yeah, right. So I only waited a couple of days for him to get me some money. Well whatever I notified my company and they got in contact with the dude's insurance and well, my car ended up being a "total loss". So I was like, f@#k it and just gave it to the insurance company 'cuz I was tired of it already and I ended up getting almost a grand more than I payed for it even after the "total loss" title.
Not trying to thread jack or anything, but yeah if your insurance company is cool, they'll got in contact with them. your options would be to take whatever they think your car is worth or they subtract a small amount from that and let you keep your car. thats what they offered me at least. good luck man.
