Not all flood-damaged cars are scrapped. A vehicle is only scrapped when the repair costs reach 70% or more of the vehicle's actual value, but this situation is relatively rare. Below is an introduction to flood-damaged cars: Definition: "Flood-damaged cars" refer to vehicles that were parked in underground garages or low-lying areas and could not be moved in time by their owners due to heavy rain, resulting in prolonged submersion in water. Precautions: For water-damaged vehicles (without ignition), the most significant impact might be electrical issues. Electrical problems cannot be completely repaired, and the repaired circuits may malfunction within as little as 3 months or as long as a year or more. Specific symptoms include the illumination of warning lights without actual faults, headlights turning on unexpectedly, and other power-related issues.
