Will replacing the rear fender cause car depreciation?
1 Answers
Car fenders belong to the body panels, and replacing body panels will not cause significant depreciation of the vehicle. The car body is divided into the frame and the panels. Body panels include the front and rear bumpers, front fenders, hood, trunk lid, and doors. Since the roof and rear fenders are welded to the body frame, they are also considered part of the body structure. More details are as follows: 1. When buying a used car, as long as the body frame is undamaged and the engine and transmission are in good working condition, it can be purchased. If the body panels have been repaired or replaced due to an accident, the vehicle cannot be classified as an accident car. However, if the body frame has been repaired, cut, or replaced due to an accident, then the car is considered an accident vehicle. 2. When purchasing a used car, consumers need to identify vehicles with rolled-back odometers, flood-damaged cars, fire-damaged cars, and accident cars. The first step in inspecting a car is to check the vehicle's documentation to ensure it can be legally transferred.
