Vehicle submerged in water - what are the typical signs?

[Father-of-3]

Maybe this has been discussed before. This is about vehicles went in and under the flood.

Minsan, parang nakakatuwang isipin, halos lahat ng nagbebenta ng sasakyan sa iba't-ibang websites, kapag nakita mo yung ad nila "not flooded - money back guarantee" ,. Of course, it's a marketing strategy.

Newei, ano ba ang mga typical signs na nag ala-submarine na ang sasakyan, aside from dirty interior and carpet?

Thanks.

Usually kalawang talaga. If you see consistent rusting sa railing ng upuan.

Would that appear even if the vehicle is relatively new?

Yung iba kasing buyer, lalo't first timer, kapag nakitang bago yung seat cover, nalilimutang tignan ang quality ng seats.

if you are buying a 2nd hand car, syempre you won't accept upon inspection kung may seat cover, because common sense says that something is hidden that the seller don't want you to see...

it also good to know if the area where the vehicle is park is a flood prone area.

in some cases mahirap malaman, lalo na kung pina-full detail yung auto. pagkatapos ng habagat last year, may almost bnew na city dito na nalubog sa baha sa QC. strip lahat buong interior, tanggal pati dash. pagkatapos, wala nang visual sign na na-habagat yung auto.

Yes it would appear pero more evident sa older models. Kung parang napinturahan na, look at the carpet, dun makikita kung yung underneath may kalawang.

Isa pa way, yung a/c... Pag-on mo Amoy daga or sewer kagad. Hindi nila kagad matatangal yun.
