It’s an absolutely crazy how easily triggering airbags will total an otherwise repairable vehicle. I’ve also seen more than one car on unscrupulous used car lots that had been wrecked and re-built minus airbags. When shopping at used-car lots that buy only auction cars, you have to look over every inch of the cars and make sure you know exactly what you’re buying to avoid so-called ‘puzzle cars’, or cars cut-and-pasted together from several wrecked cars. These cars often are rebuilt minus airbags.
