How to Identify if a Used Car is a Flood-Damaged Vehicle?

[LaLily]

Methods to identify a flood-damaged used car: 1. Inspect the chassis components - some metal parts of a flood-damaged car's chassis will rust, and the wheels may produce abnormal noises when rotating; 2. Check the metal brackets inside the car - brackets under the dashboard and center console are prone to rust after being soaked in water; 3. Examine the carpets - normally, car carpets fit snugly against the chassis; 4. Check if the seat covers have been replaced; 5. Inspect the spare tire well drain plug - vehicle design accounts for water entering the spare tire well, so there's a drain plug at the lowest point, and obvious signs of removal/installation will appear after tampering with the drain plug.
