Car Insurance Sunrise Manor Nevada NV
Reader’s Question:
I live in Sunrise Manor, Nevada. My Nissan Pathfinder was totally submerged in a lake along with my boat and trailer. Does it have a salvage value since it can now be considered a flood-damaged vehicle? If I decide to sell it to someone else, should I keep it a secret that the car was damaged? After my car was repaired, how can I be sure that it wouldn’t cause me any more problems?

When a car gets caught in a flood, you may feel hopeless that once it dries out, it simply goes to the salvage yard. That is not usually the case. There are instances that flood-damaged cars are declared totaled by an insurance company, sold through auto-salvage auctions, shipped hundreds of miles away, and cleaned up by dealers for resale.
There’s no guarantee that you will not encounter any more problems after your flood-damaged car has been restored to its pre-flood condition, but you have to make sure the repairs are thorough. It would be advised to tell that it’s been flood-damaged to the one you’re selling it to. I suggest contacting your Sunrise Manor, NV insurance agent or your insurance company.
