I think point is without the cast body section you could just replace broken parts which may be significantly less. In practice though I don't think it matters that much. Small accidents hopefully don't damage the frame and if they do it's often a bit dubious repairing it.

Yeah, I think once you get to the point where the car needs the frame worked on, it's probably going to get scrapped whether it has a cast frame or not.
