Is It Advisable to Buy a Flood-Damaged Car?
1 Answers
Not advisable. Reasons are as follows: 1. Severe Component Damage: After being submerged in water and exposed to prolonged sunlight, these cars may appear fine on the surface, but internal components could be severely damaged or even malfunction. Additionally, water entering the engine can cause irreparable damage. Even if repairable, the cost would be exorbitantly high. 2. Significant Safety Hazards: These vehicles are often released into the market without thorough repairs, posing substantial safety risks. 3. Persistent Musty Odor: Following water immersion, both leather and fabric seats are extremely difficult to clean completely. Even after sun exposure, a lingering musty smell remains in the car, making prolonged occupancy highly uncomfortable.
