Here's a simple 7-step guide on how to find out possible accident damage:
When you see people cringing to look at a car, they know what they're doing. By setting the eye level with the body of the vehicle and looking down the mainline from the side of the body, you can see if the colour of the vehicle reflects normally. Irregular lines or distorted reflections indicate that the panels have been replaced or hammered out due to body damage.
If the vehicle was involved in an accident, then you should notice uneven gaps due to displacement or unmatching panels or doors. Check the gaps between the doors and the joining panels of the body- the gaps should be straight and even from top to bottom.
This step-by-step guide will help you determine the true value of the vehicle and It also allows you to identify any existing or future problems that may arise.
