Vehicles that have been totaled. This means that the COST of repair exceeds the VALUE of the vehicle. This does not imply that the car is completely useless, destroyed, or lost forever. Here's an easy example: You spend $1000 on a used car. It drives, it's not fancy, but it gets you from point A to point B. Someone hits you, destroying your otherwise good passenger door. The cost of the door, paint, and labor would be $1200. Your car has been totaled. You can still drive it; it starts, moves, and stops. Your envious ex smashes your windows and paints your hood next month. Your car has been totaled yet again, and the repair would cost $1500. You can still drive it and it works.
