Just been reading about the various write off categories, hadn't realised that the insurance company should offer to sell back the vehicle after they have settled. I'd not want mine back, as it's beyond any repairs I'd want to make, but I'd sure like the wheels and tyres off it, and use them as winters. Has anyone else done something similar, and where's the catch (other than the ins co. trying to rip you off)?

That's most unlikely to be an economic prospect unless you had a set of Unobtainium Ultra-lite rims or similar. In any event, AIUI they only have to offer you the chance to retain a vehicle that's classified as an economic write-off or is on agreed value.
