What is the Discount for Flood-Damaged Cars?
1 Answers
Flood-damaged cars are generally sold at a 30% discount. Below is an introduction to the hazards of flood-damaged cars: 1. Electronic system malfunctions: The most vulnerable components in a car to water damage are the electronic systems. Although modern vehicles have waterproofing measures for electronic circuits, they cannot withstand heavy flooding or prolonged submersion. Once water submerges the engine compartment for an extended period, it can cause wire corrosion and short circuits. In minor cases, some electronic functions may fail, while in severe cases, it could lead to spontaneous combustion. 2. Engine failure: Generally, if a car's engine compartment has been submerged in water, do not attempt to start it. There is no guarantee whether water has entered the engine. If water has entered, a secondary start could result in a broken connecting rod in minor cases or complete engine failure in severe cases. In either scenario, the repair costs are extremely high, and the claims process is unlikely to be smooth.
