    No. If its a cat d you may buy it back as salvage of the insurance company and repair it yourself

    I think most insurance companies base it on a principle that once the repair costs exceed roughly 60% of the car’s value, it is not worth repairing. However, some go as low as 50% for a write-off value i think. So I suppose you can dispute the value of your car if you think its wrong?

    Take the money for the car, buy it back as salvage from them and fix it yourself. Just be sure that it's worth fixing
