What does "Totaled" mean?

It comes from the insurance industry, where the vehicle is referred to as a "total loss".

What you might not have known is that the definition of a "total loss" can be subjective.  For example, totaled cars are sometimes shipped to developing countries where the cost to restore it (albeit sometimes dangerously below standards) is less.
