Weather note 3

Flood-damaged cars and title brands, in brief

Severe flood damage can lead to a branded title in some states. That brand is meant to warn future buyers.

Why brands exist

They record serious damage categories for later owners.

Insurance angle

Comprehensive claims for flood may interact with how a car is later titled.

Buying used

Ask for history and a mechanic inspection if flood is a concern.

Not legal advice

Title rules are state-specific; check local DMV guidance.
