A high-mileage Intrepid is not going to be worth much, but the company should offer you an “Owner retain” settlement figure. It’s less than you get if they take the vehicle, because they subtract the salvage value of the vehicle. At least that way you could keep it. I’m so sorry. If you take a $2000 car and sink $10,000 worth of work and customizations into it, it is likely still only worth $2000. Depending on the customizations, you may have even decreased the value by narrowing the pool of possible buyers. You may be able to buy special coverage that states the value. talk to an independent agent in your area.
Good luck.
