1 Answers
Flood-damaged vehicles refer to cars that have been submerged in water and subsequently sold to used car markets across China through certain channels. One-time hardware damage in flood-damaged vehicles: Many electronic components are one-time use and cannot be opened. Although they may appear fine during repairs, various issues are bound to arise during later use. The repair costs for such vehicles can be astonishingly high. Therefore, if your city frequently experiences natural disasters like droughts or floods, it is advisable for car owners to purchase relevant vehicle insurance. Low safety performance of flood-damaged vehicles: If a motor vehicle is submerged in water, it can easily lead to rusting of body components, shortening the vehicle's lifespan and reducing its safety performance. For example, water damage can cause corrosion and rusting of the vehicle's wiring, leading to sudden engine shutdowns or spontaneous combustion due to short circuits while driving, with potentially unimaginable consequences.
