My daughter's 18 yo boyfriend totaled his BMW 740 wagon. It's probably a 2001 or so with 250k on it, but it ran and drove beautifully. Anyway, it was totaled out and he bought it back for about 300 bucks. They paid him out a few thousand, I think. He's currently putting a new radiator, front fascia, and headlights. He'll probably put a couple thousand back into it. He just loves the car and it has too much life left in it to be put out to pasture for such light damage. Plus, he's learning a great deal while tearing the front end down and putting it back together.
