Yeah, retaining salvage is a good idea. Even if you don't want the SVX anymore, they'll only take out the salvage amount they're expecting to receive from your settlement (so, something like $3100 instead of $3500 and you keep the car). They ought to tow it to you, too, but that's not guaranteed.
By the way, AAA ERS (Emergency Roadside Service; i.e. the standard "AAA" card) will not tow a salvage vehicle in relation to an insurance claim.
Think about it; part it out here or on eBay, and you'll not only make up far more than the paltry $300-600 that they're probably estimating for salvage, but you're making a lot of SVX owners very happy. Or, you could sell the whole thing to an SVX owner or prospective owner for more than the salvage amount, too. In any case, it makes no sense to not retain salvage for a vehicle of this kind.
Now, a 1990 Toyota Corolla would be another story. But an SVX? Come on.
