Water damage can result in serious problems for a car owner. Unfortunately, the cosmetic effects of water damage can sometimes be masked, and buyers may find themselves purchasing an unsafe vehicle. In order to avoid purchasing a water-damaged car individuals should look out for a few telltale signs. Water marks are, of course, one of the most obvious signs of flood damage, particularly high marks along the car’s wheel wells. Excessive flooding may even result in water marks in the trunk or glove compartment. A scent of mold or mildew can also signal flooding. Running a car’s air-conditioning system may increase this smell. A car without a functioning air-conditioner, or with any additional electrical malfunctions, may be water damaged.
