Frontend collision
Airbag deployed
Engine replaced
Possible structural damage
He also shows me a report from another service (Carcheck maybe?) that says nothing has happened to it. The title is clean, so its not salvaged. So I have several questions.
1. Is it possible for a car to have been totaled by an insurance company and still have a clean title?
2. How much does it usually cost to have a body shop check a car for structural damage?
I mean, for the engine to have been replaced and the airbag to deploy, it had to be a fairly serious accident, no?

So it must be pretty cheap then.
