Flood-damaged car refers to a vehicle that has been submerged in water, typically meaning that the engine and transmission have been soaked, with the water level exceeding the wheels and vehicle seats, and the bottom components of the vehicle being in prolonged contact with water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as the electrical circuits are prone to short circuits, fires, and other hazards. Below are the identification principles for flood-damaged cars: 1. Waterlogged car: The water level exceeds the vehicle's chassis, and such a car is called a waterlogged car. 2. Semi-flooded car: The water level exceeds the oil dipstick, and it is referred to as a semi-flooded car. 3. Fully flooded car: The water level exceeds the engine hood or the dashboard panel, and it is called a fully flooded car.
