Why it is absolutely impossible to buy a car with restored racks and spars

Damage to spars, struts or sills is the result of a strong blow. However, these elements are straightened out, and then the “tweaked” cars are sold at a big discount. Buyers are led by cheap prices and shell out money for cars, sometimes perfectly imagining that they were restored after an accident. Is it worth paying attention to such specimens, the AvtoVzglyad portal found out.

To begin with, we recall: when a car gets into a severe accident, it is the power elements that extinguish the impact energy. They are crushed, but the geometry of the cabin is preserved, and the chances of the driver to survive increase.

Manufacturers do not recommend restoring the power structure of the body, but many services do it anyway, because after an accident it often turns out that only the front of the car is destroyed, and not a scratch on the stern. So, this car is still running. This is where the craftsmen get to work. The twisted elements are pulled out on the slipway, and in order to strengthen them, additional metal plates and corners are welded. As a result, the car looks like new. But is it worth choosing such an instance?

A “crooked” body can cause the car to pull to the side at speed, and wheel alignment will not solve the problem. On a winter road, this can lead to skidding and flying into a ditch. And this promises another severe accident, which the restored power elements will no longer survive. This applies to cars where, say, the threshold and the front pillar are damaged.

Another nuisance is that the "breathing" body can begin to rust at the welds. And the rubber door seals will wipe the paint down to the metal. It will also cause corrosion. There are cases when, at speed in bad weather, wind breaks through the same seals into the cabin, and sometimes raindrops.

Don't forget about one more problem. If the body or frame numbers of the car are destroyed, then when registering such a vehicle, such a vehicle will be arrested under article 326 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Forgery or destruction of the vehicle identification number”.

Summing up, we note that it is not only dangerous to drive a car restored after a serious accident. It will be very difficult to sell it. So don't buy into the cheap. There can be many more problems with such an instance.
