This makes now the time to buy a pre-owned car if your current vehicle is in need of replacement. First, consider if replacing your vehicle is the best choice, then be sure to have a "pre-purchase inspection" performed if the car lot does not specialize in the brand you are buying.</p>

<p>Matt Stillwell, manager of governmental and regulatory communications at the Insurance Council of Texas, a trade association said the number (of claims) was expected to climb as high as 500,000.

<p><br>Beware of flood damaged cars. This was a familiar phrase after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Where do all of the flood damaged cars go? Jalopnik, a popular auto enthusiast website stated that a major automotive recycling company contracted with <a href="http://abc13.com/automotive/flooded-vehicles-winding-up-at-baytown-raceway-/2374381/" target="_blank">Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas</a> to store vehicles as they are processed. <a href="http://jalopnik.com/heres-what-happens-to-all-of-the-flooded-cars-after-hur-1800783080" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jalopnik</a> states that:</p>
<p>"These vehicles will be bought up by local salvage yards, used car dealers, exporters, metal recyclers, and even individuals who pay a membership fee to bid or use a broker. Once the sales are completed, <strong><em>some will be repaired by people who will try to flip them</em></strong>"</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/30/hurricane-harvey-could-cause-a-price-surge-for-used-cars.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CNBC Reports</a> that Used car prices reached near record levels in 2017. The spike in demand due to Hurricane Harvey could send used-car prices even higher.</p>
