sorry to hear

if i'm not wrong, doesn't the passenger airbag deployment usually spell a write off?

Usually a car is a write off
When the repairs of a car cost about 60-70% of what the car is worth
It's a write off because reparing it is un-ecnomical for the insurer so they just pay you out for the car
And if you do go with that decision they'll sell the car to pickles and make money off of it
Or
You can buy it back for 10% of what it's worth and try and repair it yourself
If you live in NSW - you CANNOT re-register a written off car (eve nif its able to be repaired)
Just a heads up

I'm just curious about the structural damage
I.e the front fenders, radiator support beam, bumper, lights, etc.
Glad the car put a dent in that P.O.S hyundai

if it is a structural damage , most probably will be a write off anyway ..
Most write-off vehicle usually are sold off for parts ..
