1	Bad condition of the car, as variants: it is a lot of rust, the car has got under a hailstones, "drowned", after strong failure and badly restored. Serious repair is probably necessary.
0,R,A	The car qualitatively repaired after failure
R1, RA	The emergency car restored probably with intervention in bearing designs of a body. Also probably modernized car, as a rule "the sports models, undergone to essential alterations, tuning works"

ATTENTION

The car estimation has the general character, in it is considered: run, a condition of a body, salon, but it has subjective character, therefore completely it is not necessary to rely on it. Obvious problems with the engine, a suspension bracket are specified in the notes handwritten by the inspector, but specially a condition of the engine, transmissions etc. do not check. Therefore at a choice of the car it is better to be guided not only by an estimation, but also on run - the run less, the it is less probability of presence of technical problems at the car.
