Hyundai Sta Fe Drowned.. :(

[blckrvntr]

My Santa Fe drowned from Undoy's disastrous storm.

Any hopes of recovering? Should I sell it? Please help. Casa is fully booked due to storm.

im sorry to hear that....

guess you'll have to wait for the casa to start accepting again or better yet look for other hyundai casas

Kung wala kang AOG then let the CASA check it first and see if it can be restored if not then chop chop na yan I am afraid... Any car thats has been drowned even if restored will never be the same again. If you sell it prepare for a huge loss...

naku bro, delikado yan kase dami electrical ng Sta Fe. pag wala kang AOG coverage malaki laking gastusan yan...pag binenta mo naman maswerte mo pag nakakuha ka ng 60% sa current market value ng car mo

If you have Acts Of God coverage... then put in your insurance claim and wait your turn at the casa. If you don't, take it to an outside shop and have them disassemble and clean everything. If you're lucky, and you didn't try to run the vehicle in the flood, it will run afterwards. If you're not, be prepared for a hefty bill from the casa for a replacement ECU.

Best to talk to other SF owners at the casa and find out what it will cost to repair. For sure, people will want to buy your SF off you as is, pero sobrang lugi ka sa mga ganyan... lots of people approaching owners of flooded cars nowadays, looking to buy them for scrap prices! If you do the repairs and get it in running condition, you can keep it for a few more years and get better value for your car.

check mo yung insurance policy mo tapos check mo kung may "acts of god" coverage dun, madalas included na detailing dun at towing service at repairs, tawagan mo na SA mo para siya magsched sayo para kahit papano bumilis,

On a sidenote, i'm really irritated at people who take advantage of the situation... i'm sure they're offering to buy to give the affected people some cash but they'll turn around, repair and sell these at a huge profit later on to unsuspecting buyers. Well, thats business, spotting opportunities.

If you're insured with AOG, wait it out in the shop. If not, clean out the car and check everything one-by-one; there's a very informative article on 4x4ph.com about reviving a flooded vehicle.
