But if it is a total loss, a piece of history would be lost forever.
PS
Any car that is in pristine original condition is worth more than one that was wrecked and repaired. Let's just say a 20% reduction in value. So a 2 million dollar car would loose $400,000 in value, and a $150,000 car would loose $30,000 in value. Even though the cost to repair them would be the same the economic loss is quite different.
Even though the economics says crashing an original is worse, my real reason is risking a lost piece of history forever.
