What is a Salvage Car?

[DiGiselle]

Salvage cars refer to vehicles that have suffered damage from non-natural wear and tear accidents, resulting in decreased mechanical performance and economic value. The following scenarios classify a vehicle as a salvage car: 1. Vehicles where the engine compartment or passenger compartment has been damaged due to impact; 2. Vehicles where the rear quarter panel has been damaged by more than one-third due to impact; 3. Vehicles with welded, cut, reshaped, or deformed longitudinal beams; 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 where the airbags have 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 its height, or where water has entered the passenger compartment.
