You would spend maybe 8000 for the car, and then another 15k to get it back to where it should be. You could do all the things he mentioned, but most likely with that much front end damage, there are many more things to replace than just those to make it like new.

Or the airbags were broke!!!

IMO, buying a wrecked car wrecked is not good, and definitely not economical...

I would not say, if the airbags did not deploy, "airbags still good"

You could crap it together for $3500. Visually, it would be fine (until the paint chipped off).

*"We determined this because the air bags did not deploy and the damage is isolated in front of the shock towers and to the core support area."*

That's a pile of crap if I ever heard it. That car is easily damaged back through the cowl and perhaps as far back as the B-pillars. These morons just don't know it yet.

And if the bags didn't blow on that type of impact, they were probably disconnected or stolen already. That, or Infiniti has some 'splaining to do.
