Ditwah flood cars are back on sale, 'fully repaired' — would you risk one?

Cyclone Ditwah flooded thousands of vehicles last November, and insurers have settled most motor claims since. But reporting this month shows Rs. 28 billion of the total Rs. 57 billion in disaster insurance claims nationwide is still unpaid — and a lot of owners took a cash settlement instead of waiting, then sold the damaged car on rather than fixing it themselves. Those vehicles are quietly back on the resale market now, often advertised as "accident free" with no mention of flood history at all. One side says a flood car that's been properly stripped, dried and rewired can run as well as any other used vehicle, and refusing all of them just shrinks an already tight market for honest buyers. The other side points out that water in wiring looms, the ECU and airbag sensors can cause faults that only surface months later, and no half-hour garage check catches everything a proper chassis and insurance-history check would. Would you buy a car you knew had been flooded and repaired, if the price was right? How do you actually check a vehicle's flood history here before you pay a deposit? ගංවතුරෙන් හානි වුණු වාහනයක් අලුත්වැඩියා කරලා විකුණනකොට, ගැනුම්කරුට ඒක මුලින්ම කියන්න ඕන නේද?
