Tell them you'll take the write off if they'll sell you the van at a
reasonable price.  My daughter's Thing was broadsided and the insurer wrote
it off.  Gave me $1800.  Sold it back to me for $375.  I fixed it for about
$500.  Only problem is that you have to have it approved as roadworthy - in
this province, by a certified garage.  Which I did.
