Insurance company will do what the two of you agreed to at the time you bought the policy.
That agreement does not include," in case of an accident I want a new car". clause.

I believe most insurance companies will repair the vehicle at a place of your choosing for damages up to 80% of the value of the car. Over that amount they may elect to total the car. THEIR CALL.

The body shops are full of cars like BMW's and better (including Cobras) that are in the process of getting repaired.
If it was up to the owners, we would shut our collision and paint facilities and everyone who don't want a car that was wrecked, would get a new car.

I don't think you should waste your time and money getting a lawyer. I don't believe you'll find who could help you. Insurance companies have lawyers also.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your best bet is to find a facility that can do excellent repairs. The car is yours.

Sorry.
