Seeking advice

Advice

Apologies if this is not the right place to post but I'm seeking some advice. A coach hit my VW Golf on rear drivers side which was parked (see photos for damage). It is a 13 plate Mk7 Diesel SE Bluemotion with 85k mileage. I've been offered £4,283 to keep the vehicle or £5,990 for write off. When I took it to the repair garage they said it was difficult to estimate the cost for repairing until you've stripped it to see the damage beneath the body work. £6k seems like a reasonable offer looking online, should I take this and put that into getting another car or get it repaired? No other real issues with the car.
