I think they are supposed to be inspected every 5 years or so. Sounds like your air bag should have gone off.
You are right it would have been more expensive if it deployed. I had a frontal crash in which both air bags deployed including the passenger side even though there was no passenger I had to replace both air bags and the force of deployment from the passenger air bag broke the dash which cost an additional $2,000 to replace.
I agree with the poster that said to have your frame checked to see if it is in spec.
When I totaled a Boxster in a front end crash, no airbags deployed. mikefocke, '01S Sanford, NC - Saturday, 23 July, 2011, at 4:43:22 pm |

Everything. Check everything. In fact I'd remove the front bumper cover and verify.... MarcW - Monday, 1 August, 2011, at 2:08:09 pm |

Car is/was to be delivered back to me today. Auto shop called (at time the flatbed was supposed to arrive) stating that the turn signal seems to intermittently not work. They had to do a new headlight assembly on the left side - perhaps the wire harness they used is faulty (or something). It's that or they didn't get everything finished or detailed. Since I'm working, it doesn't matter when the car gets back - although I would like it today.
I asked how the paint matching went and they replied, "perfect". Hopefully they are right.
While they had the car I had them replace the 2000 EU spec cig adapter with the US version - now my chargers won't fall out as easily. I once had the plastic adapter but haven't seen it in years - it's probably sitting in a bag somewhere next to my 'red clips'.
Anyone have a quick checklist of what to inspect when the car comes back?

Some things to check before you leave the repair shop... patrick - Monday, 1 August, 2011, at 8:38:51 pm |
Are you sure $8K is not 80% of the value? *NM* Boxsterra - Thursday, 21 July, 2011, at 8:14:07 pm |
The estimate of your car's value will always come in low using the insurance company's... MarcW - Monday, 25 July, 2011, at 5:19:31 pm |
