    qwerty

    well in the US you would have to drop your pants, bend over the fender and grit your teeth
    In the US insurance companies go by 80% of book value
    www.kbb.com
    to total it, meaning it cost too much to be fixed and suing the at fault driver for the difference will get you no where.
    Who's insurance company is offering the money?
    did you have comprehensive coverage? (replacement)
    judging from your question stating that it is too expensive to fix, if you take the money the insurance company will own the car.
    Fixing even with your own funds wouldn't be an option
