What does the front-end assembly mean?

The front-end assembly includes the front bumper, headlights, grille, hood, front crash beam, radiator support frame, condenser, and radiator. It is primarily used to describe whether a vehicle has been involved in a major accident. Introduction: It is mainly used to describe whether a vehicle has been involved in a major accident. An accident-damaged vehicle refers to a vehicle that has suffered damage due to non-natural wear and tear incidents, resulting in reduced mechanical performance and economic value. Precautions: Avoid running the engine for extended periods in an unventilated garage. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an invisible and odorless toxic gas. Prolonged exposure to low concentrations of carbon monoxide can cause symptoms such as headaches, rapid breathing, nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness, mental confusion, and even brain damage.
Recently, while helping a friend look at used cars, I kept hearing dealers use this term—it’s quite vivid. 'Front-end assembly' refers to the most prominent set of components at the front of the car, including the bumper, grille, left and right headlight assemblies, and for some cars, even the fog light bezels and air deflectors. For example, last time my friend bought a Civic, the previous owner had been in a minor rear-end collision. While the surface looked fine with just a touch-up, an expert could tell with a quick feel that the entire front-end assembly had been replaced with aftermarket parts—even the clips on the headlight brackets didn’t align properly. For such a car, you’d need to negotiate the price down by at least 20%, since the difference in nighttime illumination between OEM and aftermarket headlights is huge, and the replaced bumper’s crash beam or energy-absorbing boxes might have cut corners.
