When purchasing a used car, you need to make sure that it is not flooded.
It is said that more than 10,000 cars have been reported to have been flooded by this heavy rain. If you have secured your own car, you will be compensated for the repair cost, but about 4 out of 10 flooded cars are said to be vehicles without car insurance.
Among flooded car owners, those who do not secure their own car are said to be unable to afford the repair cost and put their car on the used car market. Also, even if they have insurance for their own car, some people give up repairs and hand over the car to the insurance company.
The problem is that when these cars enter the used car market, they hide the fact that they are submerged. The fact of flooding cannot be confirmed even on the car history site.
People who buy used cars after rain damage caused by heavy rains or typhoons, or those who do personal direct transactions, need to pay attention to whether they are not flooded vehicles along with other inspections. 중고차 침수차 확인
