What would yall do in this situation?

About 3 weeks ago, Mama BFIV totaled her 2001 Subaru LL Bean Limited Edition Outback when she swerved to miss a deer, jumped the curb and scraped the guardrail. Busted the two front tires, grubbed off the muffler, and the right side of her car looks like Richard Petty's old Plymouth after the Darlington race. We've already replaced it with another Subaru, but it isn't the car the old one was. Only 56K miles on the 2001 Outback. I can buy the car back for salvage value which is $1353.00 or I can just let it go and let the insurance sell it for salvage. Damage is mostly cosmetic, no fluids leaking, no frame damage. Just trying to decide if I ought to buy it back for salvage value. This car had all the bells and whistles and was in mint condition. I'm leaning towards buying it back. What would yall do? TIA

Aren't those things great in the snow? Got an extra parking spot and extra monthly money for insurance?

HELL NO.
I would think that if she jumped a curb and hit hard enough to bust tires, you could have all kinds of issues with the front end. And who knows what else.
I'd sell the current one for one that I wanted.

You'd be left with a car that you'd have to get fixed. But even if the body shop put it back together perfectly you'd still be left with a salvage title on the car (meaning you'd get less for it when you decided to sell it).
IMHO - you should walk away from it.

Not even joking. You sound just like my uncle. If this thread was about a Saab I'd be calling you to confirm right now.

I like you already.
OK, those cars have a pretty good following for reasons that escape me.
That said, if you're buying it for you to drive, fine. Expect issues to crop up related to motor mounts and bearings. That car took a lick and got knocked out of square pretty good, problems will show up down the line.
Personally, I'd pass.
I feel for your wife; it's clear she liked the car.
