No flood insurance? Repairs too expensive? Try selling your old car to Pickles!

Parts of Malaysia have been hit by a ‘once-in-a-century’ flood and as the rakyat unite to mock ministers for cleaning lizards’ faeces help each other to clean the mess, the aftermath of the devastation is pretty bleak.

While homes can be cleaned and furniture be replaced, for cars, it’s all over if it is deemed irreparable. Besides, if it isn’t covered by flood insurance, repairing one can be costly. Your pride and joy (or mode of transport) is gone for good but all hope isn’t lost though.

Notable auctioneer, Pickles Auctions will accept any and every car no matter the condition. Even if it is damaged by flood, Pickles can help to dispose your damaged car and it also claims to offer the highest market price.

That said, once you had your old car written off and sold away, you might need to look for a replacement. Going for a new car might be a safe choice but for many affected by the flood, a used car would be a more affordable solution.
