Buying a car or vehicle is quite good because it makes mobility easier and life good, but buying a good one is significant. Just as people argue who the real G.O. A. T is between Messi and Ronaldo when watching football matches is how people argue about which is more IMPORTANT between BODY and ENGINE when buying a vehicle.

On this thread, we want the battle to start on which is more important between BODY and ENGINE when buying a vehicle, and a comment will be selected to win N10,000, or its equivalent in USD. So, therefore, let your comments keep coming in so that people can learn and you also stand the chance of winning the sum of money.

Drop your contribution, and as well feel free to click here => https://www.autosandcartalk.com/threads/which-is-more-important-to-consider-when-buying-a-car-vehicle.703/ to read interesting comments from people on the subject matter and the comment that won N10,000.
BODY is more important compared to engine when buying a vehicle. The condition of the body of a used car should be a priority before the engine, this is because engine can be rebuilt or overhauled, ringed or completely replaced but once a car has a deteriorated body, its structural integrity has become questionable and safety of occupants cannot be 100% guaranteed.

Also, there is no way you can rebuild the body of a car and the car will still retain its value, but if you change the engine to a brand new engine all things being equal, you still have a great value on your car. The body of a car gives the first impression about the car.

People risk buying lemon cars because they know that the engine and other mechanical and electrical components can be easily replaced. BUT once you buy a rusty and rickety looking car, no amount of welding, patching and cosmetics can cover its secret for long. Soon, the body parts will start giving way one after the other and as the owner fixes one, another part is falling off and such experience is usually unpalatable.

Lastly, the body of a car often outlives its engine. There are many cars on the road whose engines have been replaced up to two or three times or even more depending on maintenance but still carrying the same body. You can do away with a problematic engine and get another one but you can't do away with the body of a car unless you want to sell or dispose the whole car completely.

Thank you.
