Photograph Visible Corrosion
Capture wheel areas, rocker panels, door edges, trunk, hood and visible underbody sections without crawling beneath an unstable vehicle.
Describe Mechanical Effects
Explain seized brakes, damaged battery terminals, electrical problems, stuck doors or parts that cannot be removed normally. Do not claim hidden structural damage without an inspection.
Separate Rust From Other Damage
List collision, flooding, missing parts and corrosion independently so the vehicle condition is not oversimplified.
Confirm Movement and Access
State whether wheels roll and steering unlocks. Corrosion combined with a parking garage or tight space may change the removal plan.
