Parts should be readily available on eBay and fairly cheap

UPDATE 2

Yesterday, I sent a very warm and glowing email into Toyota corporate about how I love the Toyota cars that I have which is both the 2005 that is the subject of this tread and also my 2014 Plug-In Pruis (bought new from the dealer). I really do like both of the cars and I would really like my wife or I to be able to drive the 2005 for another 3-5 years. In the email I kindly talked about ZG1 and then stated that even though the car has a salvage title, it was in just a relatively minor front end crash which did not even set off the airbags but caused enough damage that the insurance adjuster totaled the car. Actually, I think that there had to be some collusion between the owner that got in the accident and the adjuster because I saw the car when it was in the "crashed" state and it did not have all that much damage.
I had not got a reply email back from Toyota so I did a follow-up call to Toyota. I ended up talking to a pretty nice guy. He was able to pull up my email from their system and read it. I scanned over it and mentioned the ZG1 WEP and then he read about my salvage situation. He said that he thought that Toyota would NOT be able to honor that warranty for a salvage, but he told me he would put me on hold and try to find a definitive answer. He came back on the line a few minutes later and said that Toyota would NOT honor the warranty on a salvage and he cited that Toyota cannot legally do it. He said he tried all the ideas that he could think of to try to get it approved but he could not do anything for me. Needless to say I was quite disappointed ;-(.

So, SubversiveV, I am really interested in what your written assurance to do the ZG1 on your salvage car looks like and how a could get one.

Anybody else have any pointers on what I should do next? My wife or I would really like to drive this car again because it otherwise is a great car!!

Thanks

looks like you are beating a dead horse, you are going to have to pay for the repair or sell the car.. A or B there is no C..
part of life make a choice and move forward.
I would not suggest a junk yard one as they are most likely defective as well and will fail sooner or later.
