Can you spot signs of a flooded vehicle?
Many hurricane-damaged vehicles are being sold in NC. Here's how to spot them.

It's estimated that at least 500,000 vehicles suffered flood damage just from hurricanes Harvey and Irma alone, and many of those vehicles have been fixed and are back on the road.

We asked Carfax to come to Raleigh and show us how to spot a flooded vehicle.

Chris Basso with Carfax brought two cars that look almost identical.

The difference between the two, one was submerged in water during Hurricane Harvey, the other was not.
