What It Means	Facts and Risks
Description	Fact: Damage documented to the vehicle's load-bearing structure — frame (for body-on-frame SUVs) or body structural components (for unibody cars). Causes: serious accident with frontal, side or rear impact, rollover, severe bottom impact.
What to Check in Photos	Look for signs of structural damage: • Uneven gaps between body panels • Body misalignment (asymmetry, line mismatch) • Visible frame rail displacement (especially in engine bay) • Deformation of door openings, hood, trunk lid • Visible misalignment of wheel arches • Metal folds in pillar, rocker, frame rail areas • Signs of welding, straightening, pulling on structural elements Important: Many serious damages are hidden under trim and visible only when panels are removed.
Critical Risks	Safety: Compromised body geometry reduces passive safety in subsequent accidents — crumple zones don't work correctly. Airbags: With structural damage, high probability of airbag deployment — entire SRS system replacement required. Handling: Even after repair, the vehicle may have alignment problems, pulling to one side, increased tire wear. Repair Quality: Geometry restoration requires specialized equipment (frame rack) — amateur repair is unacceptable. Residual Stresses: Metal after deformation and straightening has internal stresses — risk of cracks.
Restoration Cost Assessment	Frame Rails (unibody cars): Frame rail replacement or repair is complex and expensive. Requires frame rack work, possible section replacement or complete replacement. Frame (SUVs): Frame restoration requires specialized equipment. Serious deformations may make restoration unprofitable. Important: Assess damage scale from photos — the more structural elements affected, the higher the cost.
Expert Recommendations	✗ Not recommended for inexperienced buyers: requires deep understanding of structural damage. ✓ Thoroughly study all photos: gaps, misalignment, frame rail displacement, welding signs. ✓ Check VIN report: repair history can provide insight into damage scale. ✗ Avoid serious deformations: if center pillars, firewall, floor are damaged — restoration is very complex. ⚠️ Safety over savings: poorly restored structure is a life-threatening risk.

What It Means	Facts and Risks
Description	Side damage documented to the vehicle without specifying which side. Causes: side collision, glancing blow, parking impact.
What to Check in Photos	Carefully determine side and scale: • Which side is damaged (left/right) • Length of damaged section • Door, rocker panel deformation • Pillar condition • Gaps between doors, fenders, panels • Side glass condition • Signs of side airbag and curtain deployment Important: Side impacts often affect structural elements.
Damage Levels	Light: glancing blow without structural damage - door, fender replacement, cosmetic repair. Medium: door, fender, rocker panel deformation - parts replacement, possible rocker straightening. Critical: pillar, rocker damage - structural defects, requires frame machine restoration. Airbags: With side impact - risk of side airbag and curtain deployment - SRS system replacement required.
Buyer Risks	Structure: Rocker panels and pillars are critical body structural elements. Safety: Side protection is critical in side impacts and rollover. Repair Complexity: Restoring side damage often requires frame machine.
Expert Recommendations	✓ Assess scale: local vs extensive damage. ✓ Study all available photos: gaps, deformations, rocker and pillar condition. ✓ Check VIN report: repair history and airbag deployment. ✓ Assess Run & Drive status: if vehicle runs - that's a good sign. ⚠️ Be cautious: side damage is often structural.

Metric	Description
ACV (Actual Cash Value)	The estimated market value of the vehicle in the U.S. at the time it was written off by the insurance company. Use: Helps assess the real value of the car before damage.
ERC (Estimated Repair Cost)	The insurer's preliminary estimate of repair costs for the U.S. market. Use: A general indicator for budgeting restoration costs.

Type	Description & Risks
Insurance Company	The most reliable seller type. Vehicles are sold after an insurance claim payout. Usually sold "as is" — without hidden repairs or defect masking before being listed on the insurance auto auction.
Dealer (Reseller)	Sold by an intermediary. Warning: High risk of poor-quality pre-sale repairs (cosmetic cover-ups) to conceal actual damage. An independent inspection is mandatory.
Rental Company	Vehicles from rental fleets. Often repaired at the company's expense (Self-Insured) without being reported to databases. Risk: History reports may show "No Accidents" and a Clean Title, while hiding actual repairs. The price is higher, but the history may be incomplete. Inspection is required.
Not-Insurance (Bank / Private / Other)	Banks, leasing companies, or private parties (Dealer / Reseller). Damage history may not be obvious. A detailed check is recommended; we do not recommend buying without an inspection.

Rate	Coverage
1%	Covers total loss only during transportation. Any new damage that occurs in transit is not covered.
2.5%	Covers total loss and new damage that occurs from the moment the vehicle is accepted at the U.S. warehouse until it arrives at the port of discharge. Deductible: USD 200. Compensation is calculated based on the average market cost of repairs and replacement parts (new or used, depending on the most economically reasonable option). Official dealer pricing is not used.
