Lost control on a bend on Friday night, spun the car into a hedge/ditch and had the car looked at over the weekend by a few people and the consensus is that it's repairable but it'd be too much time/money repairing so been advised to make a claim with the insurance company
So I'm wondering how much it'd be worth if I bought it back and sold it to somebody who could break it or repair it
Don't know how relevant the info below is but here are the details:
I'll get the full details later but it was a side on crash so the passenger side door, rear quarter, wing, bumper and bonnet is damaged. The sils need welding to make it roadworthy but the chassis doesn't seem to be bent. The A and B pillars are sound. None of the windows are smashed and the air bag didn't go off
The car is driveable but I think the track rod ends are damaged
The engine is undamaged and was/is perfect. Has 80k, full dealer history. 1 middle aged owner before me (I've only done 3,000 miles in the car) and mainly motorway miles. It's on the original turbo, which doesn't smoke, original clutch which is worn but doesn't slip
It's a W reg, moon grey, 6 speed, plus wheels with nearly new continentals all round (wheels need a refurb but no damage in the crash), leather, air con, push button start etc

I'm going to look into the for sale section now, regardless!
Any advice?
