If it is a raven black car I need a passenger side mirror. Obviously totaled and parting it out is the best way to maximize salvage.

If it is not a raven black car, then it is probably fine.

No secret there.
They spend more $$$ than what it cost to buy the car
They give up reliability
They give up comfort
They give up resale value
They go into denial about all of the above.
