It cannot be said that vehicles with deployed airbags are definitely not worth buying. As long as the body structure and engine are not affected, they can still be purchased. Since airbag designs and settings vary across different car models, collisions of varying degrees can trigger the airbags. The key is to identify the actual reason for the airbag deployment, as incidents caused by design flaws or technical faults in the airbags themselves are relatively common. Below is an introduction to airbag deployment: 1. Causes: There are generally two common reasons for airbag deployment. One is due to design flaws or technical faults in the airbag itself, which does not fall under the category of an accident vehicle and has minimal impact on the car's depreciation. The other is deployment caused by a collision, which meets the definition of an accident vehicle and thus has a significant impact on depreciation. Of course, this impact isn't solely due to the airbag but also includes other damages from the collision, as a collision severe enough to deploy the airbags would inevitably cause damage to other structural components of the vehicle. 2. Impact: Airbag deployment is not the key factor in determining a vehicle's resale value. The most important consideration is the extent of damage to other structural components caused by the impact that triggered the airbag. This includes repair or replacement costs for parts like the radiator, bumper, and engine. If the collision results in irreparable structural damage to the engine or body, the vehicle falls into the category of a major accident vehicle, leading to a much greater depreciation in value.
