What frame damage means at auction
Frame damage means the vehicle structural frame was bent or compromised. It is among the most serious damage types and is difficult and costly to repair to spec.
Auction cars are often sold as-is with limited disclosure, so the VIN history is your best protection. Before you bid, run the VIN to check for a matching title brand, prior salvage, theft, lien, and odometer records — the details a listing photo will not show you.
