That's transparency and then you leave the rest of the decision to the buyer. There are several things I'm trying to prove here and they are 1. Salvage are not always write off 2. With proper procedures, salvage vehicles are safe. Just like you could see in there descriptions, the airbags did not deploy in any of those vehicles. That's just to show you that the accidents weren't that bad because in these days where they have airbags in every nooks and crannies, airbags are bound to go off more serious accidents. Also you can see that they are not trying to sell them for market value.

Everything you wrote above is 100% correct, particularly in the USA market. In Nigerian market however, all bets are off. Transparency is the exception and not the rule. This very Auto section is a reflection of the Nigerian marketplace.
