Is Replacing the Rear Panel a Serious Issue?
1 Answers
If the rear panel has been cut and replaced, then the vehicle is considered a salvage car. If it has only been repaired through hammering, pulling on a frame without any cutting or welding, it is not classified as a salvage car. Below is relevant information: Introduction: The rear panel of a car is the rear barrier of the trunk, specifically the lower surrounding part. Generally, the original rear panel is not integrated with the car frame; it is part of the body covering, and replacing it does not cause significant depreciation. Note: Therefore, if the rear panel is damaged, it is advisable to repair it through panel beating if possible, avoiding cutting. Once cutting is involved, the car is deemed a salvage car. If it is a salvage car, the structural strength will significantly decrease after repair, and its resale value will drop considerably when sold as a used car. If the repair only involves hammering or pulling on a frame without cutting or welding, it is not considered a salvage car.
