Why tell them that "cosmetically pleasing" stuff anyway??  If the cost 
of PROPERLY repairing damage to your car exceeds the bluebook, they 
consider it totaled.  Why not a piano??? The insurance folks should 
understand the concept. Depending on how it is/was insured, if they only 
cover enough to get some bondo, THAT'S when you talk about what that 
settlement could do.
