Flood differential classification method
1. Check your seat belt
This is the easiest and most convenient way to identify flooded cars. Since muddy water can enter the vehicle in the process of being submerged, if you see rust marks on the seat belt or muddy water remains, it is highly likely that the car is flooded. However, there is a possibility that only the seat belt was replaced, so be sure to check the end of the seat belt for the back seat, which is difficult to replace, and if the seat belt looks like new, check the manufacturing date of the seat belt at the other end.
2. Check the cigar jack
In general, there is no possibility of dirt or muddy debris getting into the cigar jack, so put a cotton swab in and wipe the inside.
3. Check the trunk
If you see the remains of muddy water in the tire loading box inside the trunk, or if water is stagnant, and if the rubber packing is rusted, you should suspect that it is a flooded vehicle.
4. Check the fuel filler neck
As car fuel filler is not easy to clean, it is one of the places you must check when distinguishing flooded vehicles. If you see traces of water stains and soil marks caused by water being left unattended for a long time, it is highly likely that it is a flooded car.
