I work in a dealership, and to be honest, with how old your car is and considering how much an airbag cost, the airbag is probably worth more than the car. They will most likely total the car. Go to KBB.COM and see how much your car is worth and then call the dealership and ask how much the airbag is. If the airbag and the fender and the headlamp, and the other things you need, plus installing the items, and if they need to be painted, etc,.... add up to more than the car, most likely they will total the car.

Try to keep your car and fix it yourself.The airbag does not have to be replaced.The air bag will run about 500 dollars and the car might be worth that in good condition

Insurance won't pay much because the book value of your car is slightly less than nothing. It won't pay anything if you didn't report it to your insurance company so they can deal with his. That is way way too old a car to start pouring major money into.
