Consumer NewsDon’t Get Soaked By A Flood-Damaged CarPosted: 1/11/2013 Check the trunk, glove compartment and below the seats for signs of water damage, such as mud or rust. (NAPSI)—Recently, a number of extreme storms and hurricanes left thousands of cars in the surrounding areas damaged by floodwaters. Unfortunately, it’s common for many of these flood-damaged cars to end up back on the road every year. But by doing a little homework, you can avoid buying a car that is rotting from the inside out. To help, here are some tips: • Check the trunk, glove compartment and below the seats for signs of water damage, such as mud or rust. • Flex the wires beneath the dashboard. Wet wires will become brittle upon drying and may crack. • Take a deep breath and smell for musty odors from mildew. • Ask to see a vehicle history report. For example, Carfax Reports can reveal many hidden problems, including if a vehicle has reported flood damage. To learn more, visit www.carfax.com. |
