What It Means	Facts and Risks
Description	Fact: Hail damage documented — multiple dents on horizontal body surfaces (roof, hood, trunk lid). Nature: number and depth of dents depends on hailstone size and hail duration.
What to Check in Photos	Inspect horizontal surfaces: • Number of dents on hood, roof, trunk • Damage depth • Glass condition (hail cracks) • Panoramic roof condition (if present) — special caution • Paint coating condition Important: Photos don't always convey the real number of small dents.
Hail-Damaged Vehicle Advantages	Popular category for export: • No accident — body geometry intact • Mechanics and engine intact • Can be used without repair (for work purposes) • Light hail — repair possible through paintless dent removal (PDR) Important: Hail damage is purely cosmetic, doesn't affect safety or reliability.
Restoration Cost	Light hail: Paintless dent removal (PDR) — effective and affordable if paint undamaged. Medium hail: Local straightening and painting of individual panels. Heavy hail: May require complete vehicle repainting — significant costs. Glass: Cracked glass (especially panoramic roof) increases restoration cost.
Expert Recommendations	✓ Assess scale: light hail (PDR) vs heavy hail (complete repainting). ✓ Check glass: especially panoramic roof — replacement is expensive. ✓ Consider purpose: for work purposes can be used without repair. ✓ Relatively safe damage: doesn't affect structure, mechanics or safety.

What It Means	Facts and Risks
Description	Damage documented to the rear section of the vehicle — rear bumper, trunk lid, rear panel. Causes: rear impact, reverse collision.
What to Check in Photos	Carefully inspect rear section: • Damage depth • Bumper and reinforcement deformation • Trunk and rear trunk panel displacement • Trunk lid damage • Light condition • Panel gaps • Signs of rear section displacement Important: Assess if elements under bumper are affected — rear trunk panel, trunk floor.
Damage Levels	Light: plastic bumper element, light damage — bumper and light replacement. Medium: trunk lid, rear trunk panel deformation — repair possible with minor impact. Serious: rear frame rail, trunk floor, rear trunk panel, quarter panel damage (often both) — replacement required with severe impact. Structural defects. Typical Damage: Typically, rear trunk panel, trunk floor, quarter panels (often both), trunk lid, rear bumper, lights are always damaged.
Expert Recommendations	✓ Assess scale: cosmetic vs structural damage. ✓ Study all available photos: damage depth, trunk and rear panel displacement, panel gaps. ✓ Check VIN report: repair history helps assess scale. ✓ Consider typical damage: rear panel, trunk floor, quarter panels — often require repair or replacement.

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.
