Does a Deformed Trunk Count as a Major Accident?
1 Answers
If only the vehicle's trunk was hit, resulting in deformation, it does not qualify as a major accident vehicle. Here is relevant information: Introduction: An accident vehicle refers to a vehicle that has suffered damage due to non-natural wear and tear incidents, leading to a decline in mechanical performance and economic value. Categories: "Accident vehicles" generally refer to those with structural damage. Additionally, flood-damaged cars and fire-damaged cars also fall under the category of "special accident vehicles." Visual Inspection: The first step in inspecting a used car is to examine its exterior. The method involves standing about one meter away from each of the four corners of the vehicle, aligning your line of sight with the vehicle's waistline. This makes it easier to assess the condition of the paint, check for color discrepancies, and ensure uniform glossiness. After evaluating the glossiness and color differences, the next step is to inspect the seams between various body components. The primary focus is on checking whether the seams are even and if the edges are smoothly finished. Typically, original factory parts that have not undergone sheet metal repairs will have more uniform seams, with minimal variation in thickness. Moreover, when touched, the edges of these seams should feel smooth, without any noticeable sharp or rough sensations.
