Do not know the screws look like after the disassembly marks can also be judged from the screw itself, as long as removable screw-off, how many would leave traces of wear and tear, normal for the car without incident, the screw will not miss no reason to be demolished.

Before the beam at the top of the front hood indentation Paint Falling off stickers and some may be disclosed "without incident" information.

Posterior wall of the dust cover and shock devices have broken bread that often the former owners of the trunk load.

The front part of the careful study on the water tank, water tank fan screws, old and new degree of ontology, the general impact of the region by most of the car in front, so all likelihood the water tank and the fan will surely change, some new parts appear in the Middle Ages vehicle above, are suspicious parts, general damages are usually single, but not at the same time dismantling or replacement of several parts.

If there is no external compression by car, crash, all sheet metal parts are basically the relative position between the left and right sides would be symmetrical with each other. If it is larger collision occurs, unless it is cut off wagon re-welding, or how many would leave traces can be used as the basis to judge whether the accident. But how should observe it? To second-hand car market to see the car, preferably during the day, it is easier to see pieces of flat sheet abnormality.

Column between the bottom of the door leaf panels and the joints are about the same?
