Hi, Explanation: I havent been able to find the translation of standschaeden anywhere, but would like to make a suggestion. Although I am not absolutely sure whether this is applicable here, I often come accross words in German that seem to be just made up and are not (yet?) recognised terms as such. In that sense I am thinking of 'Standlicht" - sidelight, a light on car which is on when the car is not driveng - and maybe standschaeden is literary just describing damage which occurs to a car when standing, i.e. not being driven for a long time (as at a car sales) like breakes seizing etc.... |

damage resulting from nonoperation of the vehicle Explanation: Standschaden (as distinguished from, for instance, Unfallschaden) is damage resulting from the vehicle not being operated over a long period of time. See, for instance, the following: ...sehr wenig Rost mit Motorschaden (Standschaden) seit 1994 abgemeldet VB 1000 DM. ... www.allrad-anzeiger.de/fahrzeuge/suzuki.html ... wolle den Wagen vielleicht sogar verkaufen da er sowieso keine Zeit zum fahren habe ( Bremsen hinten hatten Standschaden ), gingen bei uns alle Lampen an. ... www.kiny.de/Carrera.htm "nonoperation" is the (fairly self-explanatory...) term used by the California DMV.
