Default Buying your own crash damaged car back from insurance company?

Some of you may have seen my other thread where i was crashed into by an elderly woman on my nearside and then rammed into a lampost damaging the offside,

Car has sustained heavy impact damage to passenger side doors, sill and b pillar pushed in, offside rear quarter pushed in and slightly bent rear axle (wheel out of line) car doesnt drive in a straight line, seat airbag deployed.

I spoke to the insurance and they said to call back this week coming with regards to whats happening, ive asked if i could buy it back and they told me it depends on what the assessor says?

Just wondering really if anyones ever bought there owned car back accident damaged? How much should i expect to pay ? Will i have to pay fees to have it taken back to my home, and any storage fees? It was a 52 reg 2002 seat leon cupra, obviously it cannot go back on the road (structural damage) wanted it back for the engine really as my friend needs one, and a few other bits on it worth selling, bumpers etc.
