Just a comment...insurance companies ARE quick to total cars like mine quickly. I own an '88 900T, and had a minor accident. My insurance company wanted to total out my car, and do what? Cut me a check? Not hardly. Granted, the value of my Saab is somewhere around $1800, but the value of having such a safe, reliable, and downright attractive car, is far above their settlement. I've chosen to keep the car, repair him, and drive him some more (hopefully another 100K).
Parts distributors may make a ton of money off of the car parts they salvage and sell, but from my point of view, buying used parts saved me much more money than I ever thought. Anyone try to by headlight units brand spanking new? Each aren't cheap (for example). I thank the parts recyclers out there, and hope they keep up the good work.
