What is the best car to get?

I would not take it. Rather, I would find the true market value by selling it on eBay Motors. There is where you will get what it is worth. That's just my 2¢ from my 20+ years and 17-car ownership experience.

When Used Car Dealerships do not offer test drives, does this mean there's something wrong with their cars?

Depends on how many miles and what the rest of the car is like. If the car is in good condiditon you could fix and sell it for more. But a junky 97 with a lot of miles, $150 is all it's worth.

I need a car or suv with a lot of space in the backseat!?

If they are trying to settle with her, they aren't offering the salvage value. They are offering the value of the vehicle at the time of loss adjusted for condition. I would think $150 a bit low.

When you are looking at used cars and they say it has been retitled, what does that mean?

What about the labor to repair the core support and inner structure? paint ect. What about the A/C condensor if the radiator is smashed more then likely that is smashed also I would say a $150.00 is fair.

There is a difference between salvage value (wrecked) and FMV fair market value before the loss. So don't go looking at mint examples to price out your wreck.
