Can a 4S store detect and sell flooded cars?
1 Answers
4S stores can detect and sell flooded cars. Generally, after a car is flooded, it needs to be repaired at an auto repair shop or claimed for insurance. Whether a flooded car is scrapped mainly depends on the extent of the flooding. If the flooding is severe and the car cannot be repaired, it will have to be scrapped. If the owner has relevant insurance, they can contact the insurance company for compensation. Methods to check for flooded cars: Open the engine hood: Check the radiator, air conditioning heat sink, and front radiator panel (viewed from below) for any remaining mud. Front and rear seats: Check the springs and inner fabric for residual mud and musty odors. Inspect the trunk seats: Look for hidden mud in the seams and corners of the rear wheel wells. Middle of the front and rear doors: If there is a clear mud line, it indicates the height of the floodwater (due to the many hard-to-clean seams in the door pillars). Front and rear windshield rubber seals: Use a screwdriver to pry them open from inside the car; if there is mud inside, it is a fully flooded car. If the water level exceeded the engine hood, it is considered a fully flooded car.
