Will 4S Stores Sell Flood-Damaged Cars as New?
1 Answers
4S stores will not sell flood-damaged cars as new. Flood-damaged cars absolutely cannot be sold as new vehicles. Below is an introduction to flood-damaged cars: Introduction: Flood-damaged cars refer to vehicles that have been submerged in water, typically meaning the engine and transmission have been soaked, with water immersion depth exceeding the wheels and body seats, and prolonged contact between the vehicle's bottom components and water. Such vehicles pose significant hazards, as their electrical systems are prone to short circuits and fires. Hidden Dangers: Flood-damaged cars can be repaired to some extent, but even after repairs, serious hidden dangers remain. The longer the immersion time, the higher the likelihood of malfunctions occurring. This is similar to a watch falling into water—even if it is disassembled and dried, the watch will still malfunction and cannot be completely repaired. Handling: If a vehicle is submerged in water, as long as the engine is not flooded, replacing parts or repairing circuits, etc., are covered by the vehicle damage insurance. Even if heavy rain submerges the entire car, resulting in a total loss, the insurance company can compensate according to the total loss.
