It will depend on the cost to repair.
When the damage is more than the bluebook value.
It depends on why it was totaled. If it's cosmetic damage that totaled the car (like a shallow sideswipe) of course. If it's structural, like frame damage, maybe. If it was in a flood, it's probably not a good idea to fix it since quirky electrical problems will haunt the car forever. If it is repaired it would still carry a totaled title but it can be qualified with the brand 'totaled/reconstructed' on the new title.
Normally if the estimated damage is 75% of the value of the vehicle, it will be considered a total loss. The reason for this is that there may be hidden damage that only appears after the repairs are initiated. This varies, depending on your insurance carrier.
The definition of a totaled car is when the repair cost of the vehicle exceeds the actual value of the vehicle. Hence, although it is unadvisable, it is possible for an auto body shop to fix a totaled car, depending on how severe the damage was.
The cost of damage to the car is greater then the street value of the car.
irrepairable damage is not always considered by percentage. In fact, often it's the cost to fix the vehicle versus replacement cost. For example, a car with a damaged body frame would be most likely considered a write-off due to the dangerous nature, and the major repairs neccessary. Contact your State Insurance Board for further info.
It will overheat and cause damage
Depending on the damage that the car has, it may happen if there is not much damage but if the damage out prices the worth of the car, probably not. But, you will still have to pay for the damaged car even if it is totaled.
Usually over half the price of what ever the car is in blue book.
Really?... Of course she would be able to. YOU totaled it. She could take you to court and sue you for damage to personal property. You will lose.
yes, but insurance normally will just say it is totaled and write you a check for the value of a car. its cheaper
That is the true definition of totaled ...when the repair cost is more than the car is worth
