Insurance companies total cars all the time when the cost of repair exceeds the value of the vehicle.
The fun part about working on 12 year old rustbuckets is that you break a lot of unrelated parts just by looking at them funny. Then you get into fights about who pays for those brake lines, shocks and whatever else breaks. It's easy to see Ford's bean counters and lawyers turning that whole mess into a voucher for a discount on a new Ford. They can point to having offered you something to make you whole, and forget about how much it's going to cost you.
