Insurance companies frequently “write off” cars with major damage that would cost more (or nearly) to repair. They generally don’t scrap them, but then sell them at salvage auctions. They are then bought and repaired by people/companies who specialize in fixing up salvage title vehicles. They are then resold (with a salvage title)...generally you should try to avoid anything with a salvage title as they tend to be fixed as cheaply as humanly possible in order to turn a profit.
