Anyone purchasing a late model used car in the next year or two, had better do their homework. There are going to be thousands of flood cars from Houston and southeast Texas, that will be shipped out for sale elsewhere to unsuspecting consumers. And you can bet they all won't show up on Car Fax. I can't imagine the problems that could turn up after buying one of these flood cars. While they may be able to clean them up, get them running, and deodorize them, I doubt any car that went through that would ever be the same.
And fast buck artists will be looking to buy them cheap, get them running, and ship them elsewhere for quick sale to unsuspecting customers. Some may very well be all but new. Dealers there no doubt have thousands of new cars that ended up submerged. I think people in Arizona, and the desert Southwest should be especially careful. Because this is the perfect climate to dry them out fast. (110F and 6% humidity). And many people here don't even think about such things, because of the lack of rain in these parts. Buyer beware!
