The descriptions are even similar: Quote:
Honestly unless I was physically standing in front of the car for the before and after shots, I don't think I could trust it.

There is nothing to prevent an unscrupulous rebuilder from taking the tests and getting their mechanic’s license and signing off on vehicles regardless of the quality of repairs (or partnering with an unscrupulous mechanic to achieve the same ends), except doing so and getting caught puts the license in jeopardy, creates liability for the license holder, and puts the license holder on the hook for lying on a government form. I’m not saying I trust rebuilt vehicle sellers, I don’t trust any used vehicle seller. However, the process MI seems good enough that I don’t automatically rule out rebuilt vehicles. |

The side curtain airbags aren't common on the cts-v due to earlier models (when they introduced the wagon) going off on their own. By 2017+ the tollerances on the side impact were raised that a hit wouldn't pop them unless it was hard enough to take out the b/c-pillar. Much more involved than a door swap.

And that's coming from a Camaro owner that uses their car aggressively on road courses and jumps curbs.. I fully expect mine to pop at some point.

Indeed, I was rather pissed they didn't pop. I took a huge loss with that car. Would much have rather it totaled. Hit by a damn Chevy Celebrity of all cars too. How the f*** it made it past cash for clunker still bothers me.

Yeah. It was still wildly successful at least here in KC. I worked at a dealership at that time and I still can remember how many cars we had on the lot, just stacked on top of each other all destined for scrap. Oddly enough someone I overheard while picking up some coolant was commenting the other day that it pretty much took 80% of GM's 3600-3800 cars off the road. Before c4c I do remember how common in was to see a 96-05's Monte Carlo SS, Grand Am GT, Grand Prix GTP and Bonneville GXPs on the road.

That's just it, it took a lot of those type cars off the market because the folks that owned them and had them running could afford a new car. Most people driving real clunkers couldn't afford a car payment, so they couldn't trade in.
