I have a 1992 Toyota Camry with 139000 miles on it. I was involved in an accident going about 25 MPH that damaged the front end. It was drive able off the freeway and nothing was rubbing or scrapping. Water was leaking from the radiator. The driver’s air bag did deploy. I do not have collision insurance and am trying to decide what to do. Should I just let the tow yard have it for the tow and storage charges? It seems like it will be expensive even if I tried to do some of the work myself. Is there any scrap or salvage value in it?

A 92 Camry with only 139k is worth more than you think to a salvage yard. That car has a lot of life left in it, depends on what you are willing to spend now vs. a payment for another car. The air bag would be the biggest expense.
