| Common Cause | Typical Impact on Offer |
|---|---|
| Battery/electrical faults (no crank) | Moderate impact - often repairable but assessed with overall condition |
| Engine seized or failed | High impact - reduces offer due to major mechanical cost |
| Accident damage and non-starting | Variable - depends on structural damage and salvageable parts |

| Repair Cost (estimate) | Typical Value Retained |
|---|---|
