The CRD in the OP does not exactly appear to have been "lightly" rolled. i.e. While slowly navigating Off Road trails or such... Once the wheels lose contact with the road the engine will reach redline very quickly even under light throttle... It is possible for the accelerator pedal to become stuck or floored during a violent crash. Not likely that it would happen often though. Of course this is a consideration I would make if I was planning to purchase that vehicle.

This is as light of a roll as they get.

Note that the ad also list Secondary Damage : Undercarriage.... Whatever that means who knows... Also, notice on the drivers side the rear suspension appears to be totally collapsed. If I am going to be making assumptions to the condition of a vehicle based on some internet pictures I generally assume the worst case scenario. :roll:

I guess its just my own Due Diligence thinking... :wink:

I usually wouldn't consider a vehicle that has been "lightly" rolled to be written off by the insurance company... As this appears to have been. Its only a matter of opinion though.

Cheers,
Erik

Erik you'll note that the front tires are both deflated this leads to an odd appearance. I generally don't put any stock in the listed damages, you can't trust that it has any "undercarriage" damage if its listed, nor can you trust that it doesn't if its not. Generally the person who takes the photos looks at it and enters the vehicle information, they are generally not great at providing accurate information.
