Conclusion on damage and condition

Side - this is how damage to the side of the car is labeled (dents and deformations of doors, fenders, pillars and sills). This type of damage is caused by side collisions, collisions with obstacles, and intersection accidents and is most dangerous to passengers because it can compromise the side airbags and the integrity of the body frame. How Side damage affects the condition:

Since the extent of side damage is often difficult to assess visually, without dismantling the trim, it is advisable to consult with a specialized auto expert. He or she can help determine the extent of the damage and potential costs. Right now, the estimated repair cost is 0 USD.

In addition, the secondary damage indicated is "Minor Dents and Scratches" - these are superficial damages. The main cause of such defects is careless driving (damage is caused by bad parking, careless opening of doors in tight parking lots, minor traffic accidents, careless driving on bad roads). Minor Dents and Scratches seem insignificant, but over time, even a micro-scratch where the paintwork has been damaged can cause corrosion of the bodywork. How Minor Dents and Scratches affect the condition:

If a lot at auction has a "Run & Drive" status, it means that the car starts and drives itself, that the transmission shifts into the right gear. That is, at the time of inspection, the engine and transmission were in working order and there were no critical faults. Nevertheless, having a "Run & Drive" status does not guarantee that the vehicle is in good working order. Used cars sold at auction may have hidden defects, problems with brakes, electronics, suspension and other damage that can only be detected by a detailed inspection. There is not even a guarantee that with this status will start and drive when it gets into the hands of the buyer. Breakdowns can happen at any time, and all repair costs will fall entirely on the new owner.

To avoid unforeseen repair costs and get a real picture of the condition, we recommend ordering a detailed paid report on the platform Carhistory.vin. In this way you will determine the validity of the purchase and in addition you will learn a lot of useful information about the car (legal cleanliness, data on accidents, registration history, maintenance and much more).
