The way I look at the car is I look at each panel as if it had all the damage on the car, and "I ask can it be fixed"? Yes every panel can be fixed or replaced with not that much effort. The airbags didn't even go off. So yes I can fix the car but with a salvaged title I will have more in it than it is worth. I feel the same way you do. I hate to see another one go to the crusher. Guess that is why I posted this.
