  Remember recent months heavy flood? when i visited the workshops one or 2 months back, noticed too many cars (saw many Nissan Sunny) sending their cars for drying and evaluation on the damage as a results of the recent flood...many mechanics told me these cars will either have to be scrapped or need to undergo some comestic touch-up in order to sell...and he continued that these cars will have corrosion problems in the future...TRUE OR NOT?

  Well, maybe prospective second hand car buyers should not buy Nissan Sunnys? But then again, I am sure other makes were also affected by the recent flash floods. Hence, It is up to the buyer to make a critical assessment of the second hand car he is buying.
