Same thing happened to me, those airbags are killers(financially). Got into a semi-decent accident about 2.5 years ago, airbags deployed. I didn't think too much of it until the AMA towtruck guy told me my car was probably a write-off, just because it cost $2000 for the airbags alone and my car's only a '99 four door Cavi.
Thank God my dad's got a friend who's an army mechanic, dude's MacGuiver. He just went to Pick Your Part's and looked at old broken down late 90's Cavis to see if they had undeployed airbags. Found a couple, ripped er out, put em in my car. $600. Pick Your Parts are a Godsend for that kinda stuff, as long as you know someone who can put em in for ya.
