How to Identify a Flood-Damaged Mercedes-Benz?
1 Answers
The trunk is a very good entry point. Open the trunk cover, and you will find that the spare tire is very new but there are obvious rust marks on the wheel rim, indicating that the trunk has been flooded. 4. Check hidden areas. Lift the floor mats and inspect the seat rail brackets. If the exposed brackets are covered with rust, it indicates a flood-damaged vehicle. Ask the dealer to lift the vehicle and inspect the chassis. If you find moss growing on components like the engine oil pan or transmission oil pan, it means the car has been submerged in water.
