Estimated repair cost....

If I had a LagunaII and there was a chance of it being written off, there is NO WAY on the earth that I would EVEN consider buying it back. Infact, I'd take a hammer to it and damage it even more to make sure the bloody thing got written off... lol

What's the normal cost of buying the salvage back if it were a total loss? It's pefectly driveable, just looks a mess.

normally around 10-20% of the value iirc..

While it may be perfectly driveable it is possible there is some chassis damage which makes this not such a good idea. It's often the damage you can't see that spells the end.

There is no chassis to damage. The car can be checked on an alignment rig and re-aligned if necessary. Adds an additional £400 or so if it needs "re-jigging".

but the sills & pillar make me suspect they could well write it off

Sills are a spot weld on component as is a pillar. Hell, for MOTs if threre's a rust hole in the sill you can simply plate over it. Sorry, not a reason to write off.
