2000 3.2 TL (non-nav)
I recently had some damage to the passenger side bumper/headlight, however the impact triggered the driver side wheel and passenger airbags (a little surprising since I had slowed down to a few miles/hour on a turn near the home but then accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the breaks and ran into some shrubs/small trees...but I guess it was doing its job).
The shop will give the estimate next week, however they are suggesting that replacing air bags can be expensive (in the $4-5K range), however if I search online for airbag parts, etc. I see them being available for ~$200-400, so I wanted to check here if someone had experience with replacing these and can help explain this discrepancy.
Thanks for any information you can provide.
