When your car has damage but you can still drive it fine, do you fix it or take the insurance money?

I personally don't care what my car looks like so I have always taken the insurance money and paid off bills or put the money into retirement. What do you do?

1. Put the money away to help pay for a new car you will eventually need

This happened to my brother.......he got salvage value for his car, he then bought a new car 2 years later.........he used the payment and he also got 3 grand for trading in the car........

2. Depends on the vehicle

I collect cars, motorcycles and old trucks.

We also farm. If someone bangs into a farm truck, I'll pocket the cash as long as the damage doesn't compromise the usefulness of the truck.

However, any of our older vehicles would be restored.

3. If its an old beater I keep the money. If its newer and I plan on driving it

for a long time I fix it. Once it starts looking like shit it doesn't really matter.
