to carry much insurance on an older car. If the insurance company will write it off at eg $3000, why pay into collision? save that money + in the worst case you'll be able to use it to get parts at the boneyard + come out ahead.
On a new (or relatively new car) it's a different story. The Viggen is probably somewhere in between in a sense, so I guess it would depend on the rate one is paying for collision.
New parts doesn't guarantee good: I had work done with new parts by the dealer body shop... 2 years later, the clearcoat was peeling, and another 5+ years later, that 1 door that got the new skin is the only part of the car that's rusting (from under the paint actually!)... would have been better off to just get a boneyard door with Saab original paint (and primer!).
