Technically yes because you probably ruined or damaged the engine.
most time if the car was in an accident and is totaled you will have to by it back from your insurance company
What do I need to do if my vehicle was totaled and I had it recycled?
A vehicle is totaled if it cost too much to repair it. Usually, insurance companies determine whether or not a vehicle is totaled.
The other parties liability should if it was their fault. Your liability should cover the vehicle you damaged.
An insurance company declares a vehicle totaled when the cost to fix the vehicle exceeds 70% or more of its market value.
the insurance company- if the vehicle is damaged more then it is worth- it is considered a "total lose" you will get what the car is worth at the time of the accident-not the total value of the car-other pendings vary like full compensation insurance
If the repairs of the vehicle exceed the value of the vehicle, then the vehicle is declared total loss.
When the cost to repair the vehicle back to good condition exceeds 75% of the value of that vehicle in good condition it is considered "totaled".
Normally if the estimated damaged is to the point that the repair would be 80% of the cost of replacing the vehicle, it is totaled, and sold for salvage. When a vehicle is rebuilt and put back on the road, a record of repairs may or may not be given to the state. Check with your DMV or County Court Clerk and see if they can provide this information. Better yet, leave any vehicle such as this alone. It is always a gamble with a rebuilt vehicle, especially one that was totaled. I would never buy such a vehicle.
'ticketed' really doesn't matter.........what matters is who is responsible or liable for the loss...........and no they do not have to 'replace' your totaled vehicle they owe you the acv (actual cash value) of your vehicle........
I was sued by my lease company eventhough my vehicle was totaled for not paying. I'm no expert but if I were you then I would because they have no hearts.
