They won't want to take the risk and will probably total the car and you'll get your money back. You can then take the 11k and buy another one, if that's what you want to do.

I'd have to echo this sentiment, but I honestly don't think they have to give you the choice at this point. It doesn't hurt to ask however. The fact is I have never been completely satisfied with any major body repairs, there are always issues that are not resolved. You may be better off getting the cash out of it now and walking away rather than dealing with a car that has had major crash repair work done to it. Remember, when you go to sell it everyone is going to ask if it has ever been in an accident...when you dislcose this it will be very hard to find a buyer for it.
