If you're like most people, you take the best possible care of your vehicle in order to help ensure that it will provide you with reliable transportation for a long time. However, acts of nature, as well as car accidents, have the power to completely total out any passenger car or truck, rendering them basically undrivable. However, just because a vehicle has been totaled doesn't mean that all of its parts have been damaged or destroyed — in fact, many parts of a vehicle that has been in a major collision are in untouched, pristine condition, and this means that even though the vehicle is damaged beyond repair as far as driving goes, the undamaged parts nonetheless have value.
