Talk to the dealer and see what they are willing to do about it. I thought I read somewhere that federal law says that you need passive restraints on a new vehicle. I don't think the law requires to have them reinstalled after it has being deployed (if it was deployed prior to you purchasing the used vehicle). But you might want to do a little research on this.
