Cars with mileage over 100,000 km may require a more thorough inspection before purchase.

Cars at salvage auctions can have various damage statuses, most of which pertain to typical issues such as external impacts or mechanical failures. These damages are generally easy to fix, and after repairs, the vehicle can return to full functionality. Purchasing such cars can be a smart choice for those willing to invest in restoration and obtain a quality vehicle at a reduced price.
