To trust or verify?

Often during the inspection of the cars, their owners (especially repainted buckets) say the following: "Well, that her measure, she's not new!" Or: "No, well, the important thing is that she is fine, the alignment is exhibited on it, riding smoothly on the road..." there Are different excuses, there was a case when even the just are not allowed to measure, citing the fact that I now device will scratch the paint))) In General, the owner offered me then simply look for another car and went off to find a sucker.

Often found here on D2 comments of this kind. Like all machines on the secondary, and from Moscow-especially broken and repainted. I argue and prove such people do not love and do not intend, I do not need.

People thickness can irritate the only person who is trying to hide something. Who have nothing to hide, that no questions will be allowed to try on your car. More precisely, the questions can still ask. Often ask the same questions:
1. How much is it?
2. How does it work?
3. Oh, and this is tollenaer, you can take a look?

In General, that's true, then I'm afraid repainted due to scratches door for example? By and large, have nothing to fear in this case. But! Only if well painted, hit the color and not have thrown spotli on that scratch. Or a dent. Can here is either the whole item to change, or pile of putty. The thickness of this putty thickness and determine. Anything wrong with putty?
Well, first it might look like this:

To trust or verify1

Secondly, the quality of this filler will depend on how long it will last.
Thirdly, in case of accident, if you are in putty earlier element (God forbid) someone "coming", it did not rely on good insurance policies. Well, there are a lot of nuances, as it "sags" what of the wizard it will throw and etc, and etc...

Can I see a putty eyes with no thickness? Yes, you can! But its layer? You can of course take the magnet, where a lot of it, it is stupid to not stick))

In General, using the slipway welding and filler some people make real wonders! I've got a few pics on the Internet, look here:

To trust or verify2

In the language of insurers, this is called "total". But the tinsmith your vocabulary, it would sound something like "don't worry, 2-3 weeks on Craigslist"

You do not think I have respect for these craftsmen and do respect any work that is made with hands! Just think, would you buy yourself a car? Should we believe in the word of sellers, is skeptical about the thickness gauge or other inspection or thoroughly check the car before purchase?

Yes, it is possible to travel on such a car three years, do not know the grief and sell it later. But that it would be in a similar accident again?
About this car, even if you do not hide the traces of repair, in the best case, I will say that I scratched it, priter, under the hail hit, the branch fell, all of it, anything but what it really is.
Even if this car was restored for themselves, then sooner or later he still hits the market and someone will buy it.

So personally I'd rather 10 times to check, run around the car, poked the thickness, by asking questions to the seller etc etc and What you recommend, not just to believe in the word of the seller. That if they believe it will turn out that a serious accident in Russia simply does not happen only in backyards and at shopping malls grind and scratch the car... So better to check and not to trust.

I propose to introduce 3 categories of recovery
1. The official with observance of rules of VW
2. Not the official but in the service
3. In the garage without documents.
And let the buyer decide and select what's more interesting for him.

in this photo a whole new side panel ( was not on auto) and there will be no seams, welds will be under the rails and seals, and the thickness of the paintwork on this piece is thinner than repainted due to scratches. roofs don't always change with racks, often changing the roof panel also prihvatyvaya at points below the rails and below the top edge of the windshield ( is that the roof panel just prokleivaetsya on sealant ( the technology, not the farm)). even if the roof is BU, it can adversity the weld points and also to grab points ( even if there is only semiautomatic), amplifiers of the roof under the panels of the cabin, where the thickness is unlikely that anyone will climb and hardly anyone will to do it.
I agree, the thickness gauge can be useful, but it does not always show that the car had been in a serious accident. It can show the filler in the opening when you replace body parts, but not on this car. Therefore, choosing a car in the secondary market take your thickness, but it is better to take a man having an idea body repair.

potter27 11.08.19

When you change the roof on the b/C shnuju with parsing, then the donor is cut approximately in the middle of the uprights, respectively, the old cut is also on the racks. Then, if I try to do, first boil the amplifiers, and then the external sutures. Then it all grinds, and welds shpatlyuyutsya. With the sidewall pokerno the same cut off at the sills and then welded a new one. Spot welded only at the factory weld, all Kulibin work machine

This Skoda thickness will show a bunch of spotli in the openings where the weld is. Show spotly on the windshield frame and the roof. This will already be enough to abandon such a car

casinomar there is nothing to show. most likely it has varied roof panel — weld points ( not JOINTS) are under glass and under the rails, in the openings all the way through-side panel changed completely on the new welded point and will also be under the roof and under the rubber seal. the thickness of the paintwork on the sidewall will be less than on the repainted parts. Understand the author of junk on the resale fully, but the thickness does not always indicate it, especially the body repair. An example of work for gauge failure.

In the technology of putty is usually allowed a serious downside — when skins in the wet. Skins in the wet — no dust, no clogged sandpaper, etc. Skins in the wet is much cheaper and easier than doing it dry (to the skins in the dry need a socket-a machine with a vacuum cleaner and respiratory protection...).
However, the putty, even when it is completely dry — hygroscopic (it allows water to pass through and absorbs moisture). Usually applied to spatlese to bare metal, and then hides in the wet and it can be weeks. During this time, the metal under layer of putty can easily paravati... Even if the pre-coating of filler primer and paint (which is water and gazonapolnitel), putty "fry" in the dryer and dry it out all the excess moisture (which I'm not sure), then rust is formed under the layer spotli have nowhere to stay. Rust will be "buried" under the LCP at the time (until it will not enter air and moisture). A "buried" under LKP moisture will soon lead to cracking of the paintwork...
Therefore, cars are plastered in wet usually then begin to "bloom" after a couple of years.
By the way, Skoda in the pictures on-the-go hides in the wet (the floor was littered with hoses for water, is a typical plastic "poltorashka" with a hole in the lid, everywhere could be seen the streaks of water from the filler dust)))

Our former Renault Sandero was in an accident 5 times. The last 5 times there was just "total". But while the trial was on with the culprit, one of the persons who conducted the Troubleshooting suggested us for what is left of the car a decent amount. I asked again, saying "parts?". But he replied that he liked in principle, the vehicle, equipment, miserable mileage and he wants to restore it for himself. The more I was sure that I certainly will not sell either "corpse" or restored Frankenstein. Well, I can't lie and that's it! And who needs it after the windshield of total and generally broken-broken on all sides?! And then knowing and able all will do right, will go and rejoice. But, there it was! By fate we met a few months. It was just at this car. Damn, everything was done just super: that's really like off the line! Got to talking... All the old iron he was cut down and put in a new. The podkapotka and the bottom completely painted with the analysis of components and assemblies, stamped labels-markers as the plant, well, etc. of Course the car pulled on the slipway. Ie, a thickness generally the car was not bat or dyed! We have run for 2 years, it turned out, was only 12 thousand. Well, as a result, he sold the car as "almost new, my wife just didn't like it". Given the popularity of the car, he spent all of 2 days. Eventually earning, by my calculations about 80 thousand net. Divide into 3 months of work, we get +26 600 to the main RFP. Not bad! But that car now, did it lie at that man? Yes, he had an accident on someone else's SUV and in the process damaged another 5 cars at the intersection. And our former restored the car went in the other region. Hope she's OK and the owner is happy with every. So, people, never lie! Moreover, there who do not need to do! It will come back in 100крат! I hope my conscience is clean on this car? Or still needed to find the new owner and tell the whole story nichego former Santeria?
All success and good luck!

A well-made machine will go for many more years. My father buys Total or close to it, restores and sells at the market price, pointing to buyer honestly about it. He has all the cars are taken away with the owner, he rides in this SUV. Because it makes the conscience. Been doing this all my life. Here I have a new Audi, and face is not perfect gaps. WHA restored flat pancake in the gaps.It is impossible to buy really living machine for cheap, so take people, even a line sometimes on the chassis model. There are no miracles. Because of the indiscriminate insanity on the thickness do not paint cars cheaper than 400-500. Sold Peugeot wife: 7 years mileage 70 thousand( took new). Call Painted the details there? No. And kazkami/preteroti? The roof and the left wing door. What about them? They are completely whole! In this case, all thin scratch on the whole right side, face chipped, rear bumper Kock. On washed car with 3 meters of defects are seen. Wife asked me to paint-I had to buy her a new car, because it painted such "experts" will determine how the trash( eventually sold at a price unbeaten minus the brushes. People looking for a car 7 years without scratching, with little mileage and no painted parts)) well, I saw these options, but the owner usually ask for inadequate money( Used is always a risk. Scary? Take new, but do not forget to check the back in the showroom) I do not hesitate to browse through the whole body, as in the market. Personally seen of friends cars out of the cabin, with poor repair until the debris in the varnish( according to employees of large showrooms up to 20-30% of the cars have minor body repairs. For me, if the price is adequate, then painted the details on the car in good condition is not a reason to immediately abandon the purchase. When looking for a this year the car went through four versions with unpainted bodywork, but the stuff in the units and wound the mileage that the purchase will pull much more money than even a bad repaint job.

But this does not mean that it is impossible to recover well. Restored my car the shifter, did fine and went on. The thickness I am like any other appliance in the hands of the special he's just a busboy, in the hands of the layman and almost useless thing. Painted me as a car, and so thick were the guys. But if in the dark you can see the jambs and the clearance curves - definitely not worth buying. And safety in my humble opinion 80% is provided by the experience and accuracy of the driver.

The. who told you about the straightening of the 30% of machines, or knows nothing about it, or blatantly lying. During transport, the damaged parts are changed. If to correct the damage applies welding or straightening, the repair fails and the car disposed of. The cost of insurance is huge, and believe me, no one will take that risk.

Myself, I will say the following: first and foremost, is to look at the welds where the rails are attached, where the strut to the spar. Perhaps much interesting instance worth a look under the skin. Especially in the trunk. Here, on the back — may well distribute. Well, in terms of protection from crime is to search the Internet, how to look and where to find the original VIN plate-ohms. What font they should be. I agree. All in the first place comes from the body. Hodovku, the engine and the electrician — can all be replaced. Hinged body too.

When you have probably need to define your beliefs based on knowledge and experience, what is acceptable and what is not.
IMHO you need to very clearly understand that it is used, let the year, but used. And painted details is more the norm. The question of quantity and quality of repair.
Colored piece wing. The car rolled, neighbor ass backwards to drive can not, what can I say, he to reverse, twice, his bumper at the drawbar of the trailer...
And also consider myself to be an experienced driver with the experience.
So to find a car 5 years in the home paint is a great success.
It's just an excuse to bring down the price, and that is very dubious, because the item repaired and replaced.
Recently, micrometry became popular.
But not all know how to use it. In the right hands is a good thing, has much to tell.
For someone one colored item is the reason to put the purchase in question, but such manners only new cars to buy, and who is all 4 parts on the Board are painted in different colors -OK, will do.
