Conclusion on damage and condition

Rear End - damage to the rear of the vehicle is usually caused by a rear end collision. The most common causes are improper distances, improper parking, and harsh braking. There are just as many aftermarket options for this kind of damage as there are for Front End (just as common a problem). Rear End is a broken/dented rear bumper, deformed trunk lid, broken taillights. In serious collisions, the vehicle has deformation and body geometry disruption. How Rear End affects the condition:

As a rule, such lots are favorable for purchase, as they do not need expensive repairs. However, given that internal damage is possible, when buying machinery with Rear End, it is better not to limit yourself to external inspection. To be completely sure of the safety of the vehicle and the feasibility of restoration costs, we recommend engaging an independent appraisal specialist. The current estimated repair cost is 24753 CAD.

In addition, secondary damage "Side" is indicated - this is how damage to the side of the car (dents and deformations of doors, fenders, pillars, and sills) is labeled. 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:

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).
