GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — If you’re looking for a new used vehicle, the Michigan Attorney General’s Office is warning residents to be on the lookout for flood-damaged cars, trucks and SUVS.
Due to the recent flooding across the state, it’s likely many damaged vehicles will end up on the used car market. Many will be for sale without any mention or obvious signs of flood damage. The attorney general’s office warns it may take weeks or months before vehicles show signs of flood damage, which could be past the warranty.
Before purchasing a used vehicle, it’s recommend to have it inspected by an expert mechanic who has no relation to the seller.
