Can You Buy a Flood-Damaged New Car?

[Pluto]

Legitimate 4S stores will not sell flood-damaged new cars. Here are the details: Legitimate 4S stores: 4S stores are relatively standardized and generally do not sell vehicles with potential hazards, but this is not absolute. Some 4S stores may internally sell flood-damaged cars. To some extent, flood-damaged cars can be repaired, but they pose significant safety risks and may have numerous hidden faults. Hazards of flood damage: Damage to the car's internal electronic control systems and various electronic components: For example, water-damaged vehicles can cause corrosion and rusting of the wiring, leading to sudden stalling or brake failure due to short circuits while driving, with unimaginable consequences. Engine damage: When the water level exceeds the engine's air intake, water can be sucked into the engine cylinders. Since water is incompressible, if the engine stalls due to water ingress and is restarted, the immense reverse force can bend the connecting rods and scrape against the engine cylinder walls, potentially rupturing the engine block instantly, resulting in severe engine damage.
