I saw this a few months ago. It does look pretty repairable, but, you need a new bumper, two new tail-lights, a new windshield, a full service, a new wing, a new engine cover, much more, and also what it costs to get the car fully recovered from a roll-over... New suspension, wheels, tires brakes. The re-build would probably end up costing more than the car, used. So technically it's not totaled, but you could get a used one cheaper than a rebuild.

Too Bad! It's hard to see a CGT in that condition. They can bite back real fast if you get on it to hard.

You do know that a car is deemed totaled when the cost of repairs is more than the value of the car right?

The value of THIS particular car is more than the repairs, but the value compared to other used cars, it's totaled, right?
