When Will An Insurance Company Total A Car? 
Most states have a requirement that if the damages exceed a percentage -LRB- usually 70 % to 80 % -RRB- the car must be totalled . I have never heard of a car being repaired `` because of low mileage '' . At what point is the chasis bent and just because a car has low mileage has no bearing on how the car will perform if it is repaired . If the chasis is bent it is to your best interest that love affair ends because the cost of trying to keeptires on a car with abent chasis will keep youin a losing proposition
