How Many Levels Are There for Flood-Damaged Vehicles?
1 Answers
Flood-damaged vehicles are categorized into three levels based on the extent of water immersion: water-damaged vehicles, partially submerged vehicles, and fully submerged vehicles. To identify a flood-damaged vehicle, you can check the following three aspects: Open the engine compartment: inspect the entire engine block and surrounding areas for signs of rust and mold. Fuse box: there is a fuse box inside the engine; open it to check for mud or sand. Pull the seatbelt all the way out: smell for any musty odor and look for mold stains. After a car is submerged in water, water will seep into the seatbelt. If the owner is unsure how to proceed, they can seek assistance from a third-party professional vehicle inspection agency to conduct an on-site inspection of the used car.
