Flood damaged vehicles from TX and FL entering market
Buyer beware. It happens after every major storm, but vehicles that were flood damaged in TX and FL will probably end up on used car dealer lots in other parts of the country.
If you are looking at buying a used car, do your homework and check the entire history of the car and where it came from. Flood damage to cars today can affect the electronics and even lead to mold growth in the carpet / upholstery...often showing up months later.
b1rd1e Good tip ....will keep in mind when I am looking in the near future . Shame that this happens, but it does.
Nature Lover Whenever people can pull a scam some will do or try to do, one should always beware when buying a used car...

Hopeful The ones covered by comprehensive will go the salvage route and unless a salvage company is unscrupulous you won't find many of these cars on the resale market. You should be more concerned about private sales with out of state titles on cars that did not have comprehensive insurance. Take any used you car you intend to buy to a reputable shop to check for water damage and you should be okay.
