Vehicles' primary damages include vandalism, theft, and fire. A burnt car is the least appealing since its engine and body will be harder to restore. Maybe potential buyers are eyeing vandalized vehicles. Broken windows, torn seat covers, dented hoods and doors, or stolen rims can be replaced and rebuilt. But buyers avoid vandalized vehicles if the airbags are damaged or have deployed buyers because it is a costly repair.

However, severely damaged vehicles are unprofitable, even if they are restored. A stolen car, depending on its conditions, can either be a similar or a different story. Some stolen vehicles can be taken for a simple joyride without damages, or they can be involved in an accident. Therefore, choosing such a car ought to be very careful.

The cost of vehicles at US car auctions are climbing back up to normal prices after a short price drop because of COVID-19.
