Stages of Detailed Analysis of Car Photos from US Auctions

The analysis of photos is a crucial step in choosing a car at a US auction. A detailed examination of images allows you to identify potential issues and make an informed decision about the purchase. Here is a more detailed guide for each stage of the analysis:

Activated Airbags and Seatbelts

• Airbags: Carefully examine the frontal panel for activated airbags, especially on the steering wheel and knees. Pay attention to side and knee airbags, which may be partially visible. Zoom in on interior photos for a closer inspection.
• Seatbelts: Check the condition of seatbelts. Activated seatbelts typically lie flat and do not retract. Assess their functionality.

External Damages and Body Condition

a. Assessment of Paint Coating: Use reflections on the paint coating to detect scratches and dents. Pay attention to any changes in color, indicating potential repair work. Also, if you notice white or light gray stripes, it may indicate scratches on car elements.

b. Detailed Examination: Scrutinize every detail of the body, looking for damages. Count the number of dents and scratches. Focus on areas with the most significant damages.

Engine and Underhood Space

a. Engine Condition: Observe the condition of the engine and the rest of the underhood space. Damages to the underhood space may indicate serious issues.

b. Leaks and Damages: Examine close-up photos to detect oil, fluid leaks, or other damages. This allows anticipating potential engine problems.

Detailed Inspection of the Interior

Overview: Examine the interior from various angles. Pay attention to the condition of seats, steering wheel, and dashboard. For cars with high mileage, carefully inspect the supporting cushions of the driver's seat, as they often have cracks and damages.

• Contacting the Manager: In case of doubts or uncertainties, contact your personal manager or a specialist in the online chat for additional consultation.
