Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I save by buying a car that has been in an accident?
It depends on the extent of the damage. If the damage is minor, such as damage to the side panels that has been professionally repaired and primarily affects the paint, the discount will be relatively small. If the accident caused the entire body to be warped, a discount of around 15% (on the repaired vehicle!) is realistic.
Do I have to inform my customers if the vehicle I'm offering has been in an accident?
Yes, definitely! Accidents must be disclosed, meaning the seller must inform the buyer of this fact without being asked. If the seller fails to do so, the buyer can withdraw from the contract, demand compensation for damages, and in the worst case scenario, even file a lawsuit for attempted fraud. However, not every damage makes a vehicle an accident car. The line can sometimes be narrow, so in disputed cases, consulting an expert may be useful.
Who is interested in buying a car that has been in an accident?
Especially with minor damage - which also results in less depreciation - many potential buyers have no problem with the accident history of the vehicle. However, heavily damaged accident vehicles can also be sold to drivers, for example tuners or hobbyists, who want to purchase a basic structure of a vehicle at a relatively low cost.
Paint damage - does that already make a car an accident car?
Pure paint damage that can be repaired with a touch-up pen usually does not make a vehicle an accident car. However, they may not be sold as "accident-free" either.
When should I avoid buying a car that has been in an accident?
If there are no or few records of the repair, but everything has supposedly been fixed in the authorized workshop, skepticism is warranted. Excessive price discounts also suggest that there may be more wrong with the vehicle, as sellers are usually not Samaritans.
What is a crashed car?
An accident car is a vehicle that has been involved in an accident and has been damaged in the process. The damage can range from minor bodywork damage to major repairs. CarOnSale labels all vehicles with a verified origin so that dealers can transparently trace the accident history.
What should you bear in mind if you want to buy an accident-damaged car?
When buying an accident-damaged car, you should carefully check the type and extent of the damage and the quality of the repairs. Complete documentation and verified provenance are crucial to avoid problems later on. CarOnSale offers detailed appraisals and verified vehicle histories to help dealers make informed decisions.
Accident-damaged cars - what are the bargains all about?
Accident-damaged cars are often offered at particularly low prices, as they have a loss in value compared to accident-free vehicles despite being repaired. For dealers, they offer the chance of attractive margins if the condition and origin are clear. CarOnSale uses verified provenance and transparent auctions to ensure that dealers find real bargains without hidden risks.
Do crashed cars also have disadvantages?
Accident-damaged vehicles can cause hidden damage, loss of value or problems with remarketing. Without a verified origin, there is a risk of purchasing incompletely or incorrectly repaired vehicles. CarOnSale minimizes these risks through strict inspection processes and comprehensive documentation, so that dealers can rely on safe and transparent offers.
