Does Fender Bodywork and Repainting Count as a Salvage Vehicle?

[McAmir]

Fender bodywork and repainting do not qualify a vehicle as a salvage vehicle. Salvage vehicles generally refer to those that have undergone severe collisions, flooding, fire damage, etc., and even after repairs, still pose safety hazards. The mechanical performance and economic value of salvage vehicles are typically diminished. A vehicle is considered a salvage vehicle if it meets any of the following criteria: 1. Vehicles that have been impacted, with damage to the engine compartment or passenger compartment. 2. Vehicles where the rear quarter panel damage exceeds one-third of its area due to impact. 3. Vehicles with welded, cut, reshaped, or deformed frame rails. 4. Vehicles with welded, cut, reshaped, or deformed shock absorber mounts. 5. Vehicles with welded, cut, reshaped, or deformed A, B, or C pillars. 6. Vehicles whose airbags deployed due to impact. 7. Vehicles with severe welding, cutting, reshaping, or deformation in other non-removable parts. 8. Vehicles where the body has been submerged in water exceeding half of the body height, or where water has entered the passenger compartment. 9. Vehicles where the body has been burned over an area exceeding 0.5 square meters, and still pose safety hazards after repairs.
