Car salvage- Insurance question

The insurers have now offered the car back to me as salvage after writing it off and the local garage where the car is stored is keen on buying it off me so that they can repair it and get it back on the road. Does anyone know how this works.…

Hi lads,
I wrote my car off a few weeks back and had to claim off my insurance. The insurers have now offered the car back to me as salvage after writing it off and the local garage where the car is stored is keen on buying it off me so that they can repair it and get it back on the road.

Does anyone know how this works. Should i buy the car back off the insurers and sell to the garage or is it worth the hassle?
The local garage seem keen on taking the salvage off me as the car has very low mileage.

Could anyone shed any light on this for me?

I guess it depends on the difference between what you pay and what the garage will give you, and if that amount is worth the hassle. Get your amounts settled and then decide. If not then let the garage deal direct with the insurers.
