The secondary market is full of cars that you wouldn't wish on the enemy. Here we have both "cuts", and "constructors", and machines in a frankly disrepair. Traditionally, the market does not do without "drowned" - cars that have been partially or completely in the water. The main problem lies not in the fact that such machines are on the market, but in the fact that it is extremely difficult to identify them. Especially for a person without a trained eye.
A car that has been in the water carries a whole range of problems that may not appear immediately, but only some time after the start of operation of the vehicle. First of all, the electrician suffers. In the cabin of the drowned man, mold and a characteristic musty smell are guaranteed to appear. The decoration suffers, as well as various side mechanisms. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to bring such a car into proper condition. In practice, it is generally better not to mess with a car that has been in the water.
It is difficult to identify the "drowned man" on your own, but still not impossible. First of all, you should pay attention to the headlights of the car, as well as its turn signals and lights. Moisture and dirt, water stains, and dry water stains can all indicate a problem vehicle. Unless, of course, the seller was prudent enough to clean the lighting equipment before sending the car to the market.

The second important point is the state of sound insulation. The fact is that sound insulation is rapidly losing its properties once it is in H2O. If the car is noisy like a construction site, there is reason to seriously think about it. You should also take the time to look under the rug. If the felt collapsed under it and lost its uniformity, then such a machine is guaranteed to take water procedures and not at all at a car wash.
The third important point when buying is to check the performance of all the electronics of the machine. Of course, something could break even without water, but if there is a problem on the problem, then the answer to the question: "What's the matter?" must be sufficiently obvious to the potential buyer.

In addition to all of the above, you should look under the wheels. If there is a significant layer of rust on the wire mesh there, then the car is guaranteed to be in the water for a long time. It is worth taking a closer look at the work of the power unit. As it is not difficult to guess, the engine is not very fond of underwater adventures, and therefore the slightest failure in its operation immediately after starting is a characteristic bad sign for the buyer. A motor that has been in the water will malfunction, triple, make extraneous noises.
