What were they thinking, seriously. (Re: smart in salvage)

Ridiculously undamaged salvage smart. What the hell where the insurance people thinking. This car had to have been totaled out to end up in the salvage yard. I randomly stumbled upon this car today.

It said front damage so I was looking at the front. This car was tbonered but still the it's only slightly bent down there. The seat airbag has gone off but the steering wheel did not.

Like any other modern high strength steel unibody, one good shot and it's done. Not surprising. That considered, would you rather it be your 65K Mercedes? Your insurer wouldn't.
