This is the FIRST truly honest used car advertisement and we must help this seller with his 308 GT.
With the flash floods in Selangor over the weekend destroying homes, businesses and vehicles, it is a very tough year end for thousands of Malaysians.
On social media we have seen many ‘pleading’ for assistance to get their homes back in order and many others ‘lost for words’ in seeing their vehicles completely covered by flood waters. Many of these vehicles are not even 12 months old and they do NOT have flood cover insurance as they never saw the need to buy this coverage.
Just a month ago, one insurance company issued a release advising car owners to get flood cover as the weather patterns in our country have changed drastically. The insurance company did a study and found some 59 percent of Malaysian car owners lacking flood protection.
Well, sadly that information fell on deaf ears as online shopping and year end holiday drives took importance.
Now with the devastating flash floods, we have seen an insurance company immediately taking care of its customers who have purchased flood cover for vehicles and also their homes.
Meanwhile, here is a car owner who has been very HONEST about the condition of his weekend ride. He has shared truthful information and current pictures of the car after being hit by flash floods at his routine workshop (the car just happened to be at the workshop for maintenance) and he needs to sell his rare Peugeot 308 GT to get back on his feet.
There will be many flooded cars on sale in the coming weeks, but this is the FIRST ever to be completely honest. Let’s help this 308 GT owner and share his car sale to get him the best possible price.
