Looks like it rolled. The guys here don't believe in a salvage yard. Carfax report please...

Wow!!.... we all know not fool-proof but I wonder how good equivalent services like Carfax are in other countries? Can you imagine buying this rig under pre-tense this was some gently used one owner? There would be tell-tale signs if one looked hard enough but most don't look.

I used to work at a friend’s body shop back in college and you would be amazed of what they could do with two cars, one with front end damage and one with quarter panel damage. Alot of roof replacements too.

When I first started watching I was thinking that will buff right out....nice find

Silly question: why can't the roof be repaired (in place) but replaced, while the rest mostly stayed?

Not even sure if the roof was replaced. It could be cut out for the repairs. There is quite bit of deformation at rear left side, maybe it is much easier to get it stretched and bended when it is off. I am no mechanical or body work knowledge and experiences, just a guess, given how those guy were doing in the video.

I’m pretty sure the roof was cut off and a new one was welded on. I’ve seen it done many times before.

Not completely sure, but I think it is because the roof is like corrugated cardboard, once deformed, you cut it out. It's because you cannot separate the support layers, fix, and reassemble.
