  • Flooding from the historic storms that swept across the United States this year left both houses and cars underwater. One of those vehicles was caught up during Hurricane Ida in a South Orange, New Jersey, parking lot in September, and is now filled with smelly mold. But experts warn after every major flood, thousands of vehicles like this one are cleaned up and resold to unsuspecting buyers. Joyce Darden, 80, says it happened to her used car, which she bought from Enterprise Car Sales for $17,000.

      The problem is that if the damage was never reported and if you don’t inspect it before you buy it, it’s virtually impossible to prove that you didn’t do it yourself. All of these dealerships know this and that’s why they don’t care.

      The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
      Ephesians 2:8-9
      For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

    Although it doesn’t catch every wrecked or flooded car, getting a carfax report for me is a must before I’ll even consider buying a used vehicle. Some body shops will take a car that had airbags deployed, repair the body damage but not replace the airbags without disclosing it. Buyer beware, if you don’t know what to look for then find someone that does, your money ahead if they find something wrong with the car. Any reputable car dealer or individual will allow you to take it to a mechanic.

      Easy to wash (meaning: remove) the flood designation from a vehicle title. Many states, mostly down south, will re-title a purchased car with no mention anywhere of flood damage. Then they have a local shop clean up the car; maybe even replace certain tell-tale components such as carpets, then send the car to auction, where local corner-lot used car sales pick it up and put it on their lot as a "clean" car. Maybe they know it's now-hidden history, or maybe not.

    I almost bought a flood damaged porsche 2 years ago. Looked great and had a perfectly clean carfax report. Everything seemed fine with it except it was somewhat underpriced for being so new and few miles and it had this strong funky mildew-type odor inside the cabin. All the carpets were completely covered in plastic and the dealer said the smell and plastic was from them just thoroughly cleaning it. I concluded it was too good to be true and that the car had obviously been flooded and it had not been reported to carfax and they were lying to me. I walked away immediately. And this dishonesty was from a freakin porsche dealership!

I should’ve wondered why it was so old with so little miles. After about seven different repairs on the car, one mechanic let me know that my radiator was about to fall out because the whole bottom of my car was rusted out.He let me know that where I got the car from was probably a hurricane Sandy car because it was on the south shore where all the flooding took place.
