usually when a car is totaled you either buy it from the insuranc ecompany, or it's sold at auction (to keep teh engine it would have to be bought, or tehy charge you with fraud)

The guy said it will take a few days for them to assess the damage, but it doesn't look to be totalled - close, but not totalled.
