With so many cars in China today, it can be described as a prosperous time for cars. Relative traffic accidents are staged every day, big and small and helpless, thus constantly creating a new species-accident car!

As the name implies, an accident car is a car after an accident, but it should be pointed out that a car with a slight collision accident cannot be counted as an accident car in a strict sense!

We often talk about accident vehicles, which are mainly vehicles that have suffered serious accidents such as collision, soaking in water, fire, etc., or caused structural damage. Even after "intensive repair", there will still be safety hazards.

Here, I am lazy to quote the definition of Encyclopedia:

When this kind of accident car encounters misfortune, it usually hurts important parts such as girders and frames, and it often needs to be cut and welded when it is rescued, so you can never buy it without buying it!

As far as the accident car that was severely hit is concerned, roughly speaking, four beams and six columns were injured, and the skeleton structure of the car was irreversibly damaged.

Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to repair this kind of accident car, unless it is an amazing car, rare in the world, and worth rescuing ...

First of all, it costs money!

A major accident happened, which is no less than a minor bump or scratch. Usually, it needs to be re-cut, welded and replaced with a large number of parts. Naturally, Grandpa Mao will have to take it out.

some students will say that repairing cars depends on insurance!

Yes, but usually, when a car with a serious accident is repaired, the money paid by insurance is not enough, and you have to add it yourself. How much to add depends on how miserable the story is ~ Besides, the insurance company will leave it alone after paying for it, and if the contract is terminated, you have to re-insure it, which will cost money!

second, no value preservation!

Even if the car is repaired with great pains, the value of the car will undoubtedly plummet, and it is almost impossible to sell it at a good price, unless you really want to stay with it forever ...

For most people, driving a repaired accident car will have a certain psychological burden ~

If you choose a total loss, it may be the most harmonious way, after all, you can follow. In addition, don't compare the amount of compensation directly with the price when you bought the car. After all, the car depreciated as soon as it landed, and even if there were no accidents after a few years, it would cost a lot of fall in price. (Let's not talk about the value-preserving artifact ~)

Therefore, the way of total loss is quite harmonious, and of course, it is necessary to analyze specific problems.

also, after the accident car is completely lost, the ownership will no longer belong to the owner, and the insurance company will tow it away. Insurance companies may sell accident cars to car dealers, and the use of the residual value of accident cars is a gray area, so ...

Second-hand accident cars are determined not to buy, and the pits can be avoided. Just like when signing the purchase contract, it is necessary to indicate that the car is not an accident, or that if it is an accident car, it can be returned.

finally, hidden dangers!

after the accident car is repaired, it is naturally impossible to be intact. Even if it looks like a healthy child, you should know that the repair process is not simply to replace the cover, but to repair the skeleton structure of the car, just like our fracture ... there are certain hidden dangers.

if a badly hit vehicle can't be persuaded to overhaul it, don't forget what hidden dangers it may have!

The strength of the car body is weakened

Vehicles in serious accidents are usually subjected to strong impact force, which hurts four beams and six columns. Although these can be repaired by the superb skills of the master, their strength is naturally not as good as that of that year, and their safety is undoubtedly reduced.

To put it simply, when those metals are deformed and broken after impact, they will naturally suffer from "fatigue", which is irreversible damage. If a big accident happens again, the protection ability of this car will definitely be worse than before.

The car frame is deformed or causes abnormal noise

Accident cars that have been severely hit are usually unrecognizable, otherwise they are embarrassed to say that they have gone to the gate of hell once!

after a violent impact, the frame may be deformed, and some parts may be offset and dislocated, so the problem of abnormal sound and * * * vibration becomes a time bomb. I once sat on a 3-series, and when I was turning or bumping, I could hear the creaking sound coming from everywhere in the car, and the frame was going to fall apart? God knows what happened to it in the past ~

Unpredictable risks

After the overhaul, no one knows the durability of various parts of the car body, and no one knows what hidden injuries will be buried.

The repair also depends on the master's skill. If the level is not high, you can pray to the Buddha ~

For example, the deformation of the frame will also affect the suspension and change its fixed position. At this time, it depends on the deviation tolerance when repairing. If the deviation is too high, it will naturally lead to problems such as eating tires and running deviation.

Life expectancy is shortened

This is certain, and it is not a hidden danger. Although it has been restored to its original state after overhaul, many things cannot be restored in terms of fatigue life.

if the maintenance of the garage does not reach a certain level, or it is not as standardized as the original factory, it will further reduce the strength of its car body and shorten its service life.

No matter how skilled the craft is, the accident car after "rehabilitation" can never reach the state before repair!

here, I have a little idea about whether it is necessary to rescue the accident car and what hidden dangers there are after it is repaired!

Finally, it is definitely not recommended to buy a second-hand accident car. God knows how physically disabled and determined it was. Because of some gray areas, poor supervision and opaque market, accident cars are widespread in the used car market, and the reality is that one can be deceived ...

So, keep a careful eye on everything and stay away from accident cars ~
