| Damage type | Typical impact on offers |

| Short-term water ingress (interior only) | Moderate impact - potential for cleaning/parts resale |
| Engine/electrical flooding | Higher impact - may require salvage/parts valuation |
| Saltwater exposure | Significant impact - corrosion increases repair costs long-term |
