What it means
HAIL means the car was damaged by hail: many small dents on the horizontal panels, sometimes broken glass and lights. Insurers often total cars with heavy hail damage because repainting or replacing panels is expensive, even though the car drives fine.
What it means for a buyer
Hail cars are often mechanically sound and can be good value if you can live with the dents or use paintless dent repair. Check for broken glass and sunroof damage, and the title type.
