I would like to piggyback on this question with some details of my own. Is there any damage that would automatically total the car?

Can a car be repaired if the frame is damaged?
It depends on how badly. Some body shops have equipment for straightening bent frames. If the metal has actually buckled, the repair might involved cutting it out and welding in a new piece. That procedure would be a job for a real expert, if the result is to be safe. The cost of frame repair may be prohibitive in some cases. And your state's laws may require a salvage title on the result. Your regular backyard mechanic will unlikely have the dimension specifications information for a vehicle's frame. Specialized equipment is required to carefully pull a bent frame back into manufacturer's specifications. A backyard mechanic might cause more damage to the frame and weaken it if it is not done properly.

Of course they can sell you the car. You can also sue them. In a very nice manner, Demand they refund your money or give you another car, and if they refuse then tell them you will see them in court. That very well may get their attention. But, you may end up having to sue.
