If you own a used vehicle parts shop, that’s also a good reason. But the normal person, that wants a car for driving, what can that person do with a damaged car? If you can answer this question, and make a detailed plan of how to repair it and what defects you can cope with, then you can go head and make a purchase at a damaged cars auction.
