It's got new carpet, seats electronics and brakes. There's really nothing to worry about, and the mileage isn't bad. I don't see why not.

There is a reason your insurance company will TOTAL a flood car. They do not want to keep paying for related repairs.

Save yourself the agony and find another car.

i would wait to find something else, even though the electrical system has been checked is does not mean all the electronics will last a long time, find another car because you will dump alot of money into it

Don't buy it!! We have six flood damaged cars at my collage and they are a nightmare!! Every time we fix one thing a day later and the wires are letting the smoke out some where else in the cars they weren't flooded bad just enough to miss it. You do what you want but I would never buy it!!

Flooded cars are great.....

as long as the battery was discharged or unhooked at the time....
otherwise, I wouldnt go near it with a gun to my back!!.
