An ordinary souvenir magnet will help you determine whether the car has been extensively repaired
When buying a used car, you need to make sure that it is not a car restored after a serious accident. If it is, you will not get a vehicle, but a lot of problems. That's why it's important to know how to identify a broken car.
OBOZREVATEL asked experts for their opinion on this matter. And tells you about a simple life hack that will allow you to find out this important nuance with the help of a simple object - an ordinary magnet. Even a souvenir magnet will do - one of those that you put on the fridge.
The magnet will allow you to accurately determine whether the painted parts of the machine are metal. The fact is that the restoration of damaged parts often involves the use of other materials - not the original metal from which the car body is made. So, if the magnet sticks well to the car during the pre-sale inspection, then there is not much to worry about. You are dealing with original metal parts.
Conversely, if the magnet doesn't stick, it's a reason to suspect that the car has been seriously damaged before and has undergone serious repairs with restoration work. In this case, it is better to inquire more about the history of the chosen car.
However, this method has a few exceptions. For example, the magnet may not stick to completely original parts covered with putty or other dense materials.
