Buying a flood vehicle

[Kingfisher789]

Will there be a car shortage now, too?

There will be in Houston! The transporters should be showing up here this week.

A big boss with enterprise leasing tells me they had 25,000 cars out as the flood hit. They have no idea how many survived.

I would be more worried about electrical issues that would come up.

This.

I hated working as a Technician at a dealership when we got "Auction" vehicles that were in Hurricane Katrina. Water line on the interior and every light on the instrument cluster lit up. Rusty wiring and replacing every harness and PCM,TCM,ECM etc etc etc. It is a PITA to disassemble a complete car to install a new harness in everything then reassemble.

Only reason to buy a flood car/truck is to part it out...jmo

This car issue will be good for the Uber and Lyft drivers. Looks like our next car will be new not used as originally planned.

Buy them up, sell to Mexico for the VIN, they put on all our stolen vehicles and resell back to us cheap. win-win

Real happy we're buying a used car today from a TBHer!!
