Is It Advisable to Buy a Car That Has Been Submerged to the Carpet Level?
1 Answers
It is not recommended to purchase a car that has been submerged to the carpet level, as it may have hidden issues. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Car Flooding Insurance: If a car is submerged while stationary, the engine is generally not damaged, and you can claim compensation as long as you have purchased auto damage insurance. However, if you attempt to start the car and drive it out of the flooded area, causing engine damage, even if you have purchased flood insurance, the insurance will not cover the cost. 2. Reasons Not to Buy: There are many wires under the car that need to be inspected and treated after being submerged. Additionally, the carpet needs to be cleaned after being soaked, otherwise it may develop mold or odors.
