Whether you are considering new or used, buying a flood-damaged car can be risky -- especially if you are not even aware of the damage! While it is not that difficult to hide flood damage that is considered "cosmetic," repairing an engine that has water damage is harder to do. Sometimes, a dishonest individual or business may choose not to reveal the fact that the damage occurred, leaving the buying with a load of potential problems down the road. In the wake of recent flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey, the local Better Business Bureau is urging car buyers to be cautious of those who may try to sell flood-damaged cars without revealing the history of a particular vehicle.
