Years ago I had a Dodge Neon insured by State Farm. I was T-boned on the passenger side -- totally my fault. I took it to a local body shop, and they said something like they couldn't tell for sure what the bill would be unless they started taking it apart to measure if the body was bent (???). Anyway, State Farm decided to total it. I then bought the "salvage rights" for something like $2500, and had the body shop do the repairs. The body wasn't bent after all, so it wasn't too bad, maybe $1000. I sold the car a couple of years later and more or less broke even. But if you go this route, keep in mind that the car will have a distinct "salvage" title. Selling the car later was a pain, because the buyer was trying to get a loan, and when they saw the salvage title the lender freaked. I had to finance the sale (i.e., accept payments) myself. All in all, I wouldn't go this route unless the car has sentimental value.
