Every photo, looked at one by one
Each vehicle on Auction Cars Blog gets a note on every photo: the view, what is visible, where the damage is and how severe it looks. The recorded facts, such as damage type, mileage and sale details, are shown separately from those observations, so you always know which is which.

Common questions
What is a photo check?
Every photo of the vehicle is looked at one by one and described in plain words: what is visible, where, and how severe it looks. Observations are kept separate from the recorded facts.
Is it an inspection?
No. The notes describe only what the photos show. Hidden, structural, mechanical and electrical condition cannot be judged from photos.
Where do the facts come from?
From the sale record, or from the owner for owner-submitted listings. Each page says which.
Can I use it to decide a purchase?
Use it to know what to inspect. Always get an independent inspection and an official history report.
I own this vehicle. Can the listing be removed?
Yes, free of charge. See Remove a listing.
