Iīm sure for 100% when you take the car to my local Saab garage you wonīt feel anything different - itīll cost the hell but it will be better than new. Some weeks ago they had a 9-3 convertible that was hit badly on the rear by a heavy truck and the total rear of the car was damaged and missaligned. The ensurance company said that it was totaled but the plumber chief took the car and they started to take everything off the car, (body metal, top, interiour, carpets, components) - everything till nothing else but the frame was left (i saw it that day and we were joking about it) but they restored it completely - a really huge and very good job! It really was better then new, I didnīt believe it till I drove it the first time... Sure it was the Saab garage that did the job for themself and nobody else could have paid this.
