I said this is not an accident car.
Is my headlight, horn, steering wheel and tire changing an accident car?
Me: ...
Was the car an accident? What kind of car is an accident car?
Let's take a look at what the encyclopedia says:
"Accident car refers to the accident that the vehicle is damaged due to unnatural wear and tear, which leads to the decline of mechanical performance and economic value. Accident vehicles generally refer to vehicles with damaged structures. At the same time, soaking and burning cars also belong to the category of "special accident cars". "
There are no mandatory regulations or standards for accident vehicles.
I can't answer many questions clearly, so I have to look for information, but there is no clear explanation on the information, and there are no mandatory regulations or standards.
However, it is generally recognized in the industry that all parts on the car that cannot be directly disassembled and replaced are damaged, so it can be regarded as an accident car.
There are many parts in the car that can be replaced. If it breaks, fix it. If your horn is not good, you can take it down and replace it with a new one. So is the bumper.
Parts that cannot be replaced directly, even accident cars, are damaged.
But if you look, my door frame is stuck with the whole car, and this place is sunken, so there is no way to open it separately and replace it. This kind of car is very easy to be identified as an accident car.
These parts are not detachable, so you really need to repair them, or shape them, or even cut them off and weld them or something.
Common ones are longitudinal beam, ABC column and rear fender.
Several common parts, such as the longitudinal beam of an automobile, are two long beams from front to back. This can be seen when the engine is turned on, and the engine is the main load-bearing structure.
The ABC pillar of an automobile is the pillar on both sides of the front windshield, the middle door pillar and the rear door pillar connect the glass, and the rear fender is the delay part of the C pillar. It is troublesome to damage this part, because the rear of the car is a whole, and hitting it is likely to be defined as an accident car. Of course, it won't be a big problem if we take a nap.
Damage to detachable and replaceable parts is not an accident car.
For example, if the bumper is cracked, do a touch-up paint or something. This is not a problem.
I'm probably still at a loss when I hear that. Why does a girder like ABC column depreciate even if it is an accident, and it feels unsafe or the car is not good?
For example, I am an apple, and it has rotten parts. I cut off the rotten parts with a knife, and the rest can be eaten, which is similar to changing our bumper horn for another reason.
The main beam, load-bearing column and other components can not be completely restored.
However, places like girders and load-bearing columns are crooked, just like a paper ball. It's all wrinkled. After crumpling, you can't flatten it like pressing new paper unless you buy new ones or recycle them.
Then this girder is also an ABC column, which needs to be replaced or recycled, which is not much different from changing the car.
Parts or components that cannot be completely restored to the original factory state are basically accident cars if they are hit or deformed.
If it is found that the car meets any of the following requirements, it is an accident car:
1. Engine compartment and cockpit were damaged after impact.
2. More than one third of the rear fender of the car body is damaged by vehicle impact.
3. The longitudinal beam is welded, cut, reshaped and deformed.
4. The shock absorber seat has welded, cut, reshaped and deformed vehicles.
5.ABC column welded, cut, reshaped and deformed the vehicle.
6. Vehicles with airbags ejected due to collision.
7. Other non-removable parts are vehicles that have undergone a lot of welding, cutting, shaping and deformation.
8. Vehicles whose bodies are soaked in water for more than half of their bodies, or vehicles with accumulated water entering the cockpit.
9. Vehicles whose body has been burned by fire for more than 0.5 square meters, and there are still potential safety hazards after repair.
