Flood Cars

[4570Man]

When buying a car that may have been in a flood, pull carpet in trunk and look for staining. I always pull panels to look for mud and staining! If they won't let you, Run!

I wouldn’t let anyone pull panels in my vehicle. They never go back on right. You can look under the dash and seats and just about anywhere else you want but the door panels and such stay on.

In the late '70's we got a boat load of "water logged" vehicles from some catastrophe down south. It hit the newspaper in Anchorage before the boat made dock. It became such a rhubarb - the cars were never unloaded off the boat. "Return to sender".........

Not just cars and trucks, but RV, campers, and quit possibly, tractors as well. The RV lots up here were well over half stocked with flood damaged RV's after Katrina.

Our neighbor got a deal on a couple of year old RV…..from florida after a hurricane. Was in the shop more than he used it. Sold for a loss.

I've been getting email lately telling me my PayPal account will be suspended if I don't sign in and verify my info. They've even included a ghost link for me to click on for my convenience. Yeah, right. For others getting this type of email; PayPal will ALWAYS include your registered name. And they don't use ghost or extended links.

Like 4-5 calls saying my CC has been hacked, like a $30-40. withdrawal followed by a $900. ish amount.
Yeah, sure but they never name which bank/brand CC! Hello? (Have a few on different banks)
Oddly enough always the same voice but different $'s.
