Insurance companies consider flood cars to be salvage and most will not insure them.

If you happen to get a good deal, and buy a flood on the cheap and then repair it. Even after clearing state inspection, you will still have "rebuilt or "salvage" on the title. Which will make reselling it in the future more difficult. .....

My wife bought a new car after Hurricane Hugo in 1989. It had been shipped to a Charlotte dealership after the storm from a Charleston, SC dealership. There were information ads about how to look for water damaged autos and when she started having ignition problems, I took it to my mechanic and he showed me where all the damage was hidden. I put in a claim with my insurance company and the Mazda dealer in Charleston had to replace the car. They were selling a whole lot full of damaged autos. I never did find out if they were fined or punished.

Then you are looking at a future of never ending electrical problems. ....

Fresh water flooding is bad but salt water is worse. One of your main computers is under your seat.
