Why Some Buyers Prefer Side-Damaged Vehicles?

Side-damaged vehicles are popular because they often involve repairs that are more cosmetic than mechanical, making them cost-effective to fix. Here are a few reasons why buyers choose side-damaged cars:

  • Cosmetic Damage: Side damage is often limited to doors, panels, and windows, meaning the car’s performance is usually unaffected.
  • Lower Repair Costs: Repairs to the sides of the vehicle are often less expensive compared to damage to the engine or frame.
  • Quick Fix: Side damage can often be repaired relatively quickly, allowing you to get the car back on the road faster.
  • Resale Potential: Once repaired, side-damaged vehicles can still have strong resale value, especially if the repairs were minor and well-done.


Pros and Cons of Side-Damaged Vehicles

PROS:

  • Cost-Effective Repairs: Side damage is often cosmetic, so repair costs are lower compared to major mechanical or structural damage.

  • Limited Impact on Performance: The vehicle’s engine, transmission, and other critical systems are often unaffected, making these cars still operational.

  • Quick Repairs: Depending on the extent of the damage, side repairs can be done relatively quickly, restoring the vehicle to near-new condition.

  • High Resale Value: Once side damage is repaired, the vehicle’s value can bounce back, especially if it’s a popular make or model.

CONS:

  • Visible Damage: While side damage can be cosmetic, it is often noticeable, especially if not repaired well.

  • Potential Door/Window Issues: Side impacts can sometimes affect door alignment or window functionality, requiring precision repairs.

  • Frame Alignment Risks: In more severe cases, side damage might involve frame misalignment, which can require more specialized repair work.

Damage Types


All Over Damage

Salvage cars with all-over damage may have multiple areas affected, including body panels and internal components. This type of damage can vary greatly in severity.

Biohazardous/Chemical Damage

Vehicles marked with biohazardous or chemical damage have been exposed to substances that may require specialized cleaning or disposal.

Burn Damage (Engine, Interior, Overall)

Fire damage can affect a vehicle's engine, interior, or spread throughout the entire car. The severity of the burn damage impacts the type of repairs needed.

Flood/Water Damage

Water or flood damage can affect both the interior and the mechanical components of the vehicle. The extent of the damage often depends on how long the vehicle was exposed to water.

Frame Damage

Vehicles with frame damage may need structural repairs, but with expert handling, these vehicles can still be a great option.

Front End Damage

Front-end damage typically affects the grille, headlights, and bumper. It can vary from minor to severe depending on the extent of the collision.

Hail Damage

Hail damage typically affects the exterior of the vehicle. Dents and cracked glass can often be repaired, making these vehicles a good investment.

Mechanical Damage

Cars with mechanical damage may have issues with the engine, transmission, or other mechanical components. Understanding the extent of the damage is key to making an informed purchase.

Minor Dents and Scratches

Vehicles with minor dents and scratches often have mostly cosmetic damage, which can be fixed at a low cost.

Normal Wear

Salvage cars marked with normal wear are often older vehicles with expected levels of usage-related wear and tear.

Partial/Incomplete Repair

Vehicles with partial or incomplete repairs may have started the repair process but were not fully restored. Buyers should be aware of the extent of work required to complete repairs.

Rear End Damage

Rear-end damage often involves the bumper, taillights, and trunk area. Repair costs can vary based on the impact.

Rejected Repair

A vehicle with a rejected repair indicates that previous repair efforts were unsuccessful or incomplete, requiring further attention.

Rollover Damage

Rollover damage can cause extensive harm to the roof and body structure of the vehicle. Repairs may involve significant restoration efforts depending on the severity.

Roof/Top Damage

Top or roof damage usually affects the roof panel and can vary in severity from minor dents to more significant damage caused by impacts.

Salvage History

Vehicles with a salvage history have previously sustained damage but may have been repaired. It's important to understand the extent of the original damage and how well it was repaired.

Side Damage

Side damage typically affects the doors, windows, and side panels. Repairs can range from minor bodywork to more extensive frame adjustments.

Stripped Damage

Vehicles marked as stripped have had parts or components removed. Buyers should assess the missing parts and the cost to replace them.

Undercarriage Damage

Undercarriage damage can affect critical components such as the suspension and drivetrain. Repairs may involve extensive work depending on the extent of the damage.

Vandalism

Vehicles affected by vandalism may have damage to the body, windows, or interior. Repair costs can vary based on the severity of the damage.
