Hate to say it, but 1) if your car is involved in just about any kind of accident, it will be considered completely totaled and 2) most cars will be in some kind of accident.

I think the numbers accurately reflect what insurance companies will expect to pay out for claims. It’s partly due to the nature of vehicle design now and partly due to the cost of repair.
