Conclusion on damage and condition

Water/Flood indicates that the vehicle has been in contact with water. Causes are flooding, heavy rainfall, technical flooding. Water/Flood damage comes in two types. The first is when water just got into the car, for example, if the driver forgot to close the windows or sunroof, it rained at night and the interior was flooded with water. In such damage, the electronics and critical components will not be damaged, but the interior will be ruined. Another option is if the vehicle was partially or completely flooded. In this case, there may be many more problems, and they will be much more serious. Even a short stay in water has a negative impact on the technical condition. How Water/Flood damage affects the condition:

If electronics have been damaged, even after drying there is a high risk of hidden damage and short circuits. With water damaged lots, you can never rely on visual inspection. They usually look good, so you run the risk of misjudging the condition and future repair costs. We strongly advise that variants labeled Water/Flood be sent for expert diagnosis with the elements disassembled. A preliminary estimate of the amount of possible repairs is 23525 USD.

In addition, the secondary damage indicated is "Minor Dents and Scratches" - these are superficial damages. The main cause of such defects is careless driving (damage is caused by bad parking, careless opening of doors in tight parking lots, minor traffic accidents, careless driving on bad roads). Minor Dents and Scratches seem insignificant, but over time, even a micro-scratch where the paintwork has been damaged can cause corrosion of the bodywork. How Minor Dents and Scratches affect the condition:

If a lot at auction has a "Run & Drive" status, it means that the car starts and drives itself, that the transmission shifts into the right gear. That is, at the time of inspection, the engine and transmission were in working order and there were no critical faults. Nevertheless, having a "Run & Drive" status does not guarantee that the vehicle is in good working order. Used cars sold at auction may have hidden defects, problems with brakes, electronics, suspension and other damage that can only be detected by a detailed inspection. There is not even a guarantee that with this status will start and drive when it gets into the hands of the buyer. Breakdowns can happen at any time, and all repair costs will fall entirely on the new owner.

To avoid unforeseen repair costs and get a real picture of the condition, we recommend ordering a detailed paid report on the platform Carhistory.vin. In this way you will determine the validity of the purchase and in addition you will learn a lot of useful information about the car (legal cleanliness, data on accidents, registration history, maintenance and much more).
