How can I buy my car back from the insurance?

We Answered:

If you don't total your car, you don't HAVE to buy it back - the insurance company pays for the repair. They only take the whole car, when it's totalled. And when it IS totalled, you tell them, you want salvage value for it. Then they'll subtract "salvage value" from the check they give you, you turn the title over to them, and a salvage title gets issued to you. Now you own the car, with a salvage title.
