So, don't purchase ANY car that had the AIR BAGS pop?

Thank You all for your responses, you have pretty much confirmed my thoughts that I don't want the potential headache. I've had 7 Saabs, and this would just be little car to dink around town with. You guys have always given solid intelligent advice, that's why I asked your opinion on this.
This particular 2003 Saturn Ion is a "Level 3" which is fully loaded, about 16-17K I believe, and has under has under 50K miles. Edmunds comes in at 6831 TRADE IN, and 8193 PRIVATE PARTY... so in my head, $2000 off Private Party caught my eye as a great deal... then, I found out about the Accident... But it seems to me that if the Private Party Price is considered an "Decent" deal, 2K off that was an acceptable price for a car that has just been in an accident and repaired.
Same question to some Saturn people: (they know their cars are inexpensive) and their thoughts were that most decent accidents will "TOTAL" a Saturn and since this car was repaired and has a clear title, perhaps it really wasn't hit all that bad... I dunno, just hypothesizing here... the car isn't worthless... there's got to be some value we can assign to it.
Personally, I don't think I'd buy a 30K or 40K car that had been in an accident - you can fix a twisted mess for 30K in repairs! But if this thing wasn't tottaled... hmmm... perhaps damage really wasn't too bad... seems like a solid theory...
So, would you guys not buy ANY car that had been in an accident that was hard enough to pop the Air Bags?
