Are you talking about flood cars?
There are thousands of Sandy cars on internet auction.
I’ve wondered if maybe the flood damage isn’t nearly as bad as reputed, because these days the electronics are pretty well sealed.
Not flood cars. Just cars that have been in accidents. Sometimes it is amazing what little damage can total a car. I know a guy locally that makes his living buying and reparing them to “like new” condition. He then sells them for thousands less than they would otherwise cost. He’s doing the body work on my Scion right now (some guy backed into the front of it in a parking lot.)
He’s selling one of those new 2012 fiats with just a few thousand miles on it for ten grand. It looks and drives like brand new. It would be a good commuter for a guy like me, but I need something with a longer wheelbase. The big advantage of those, like smart cars, is their “urban friendly” size. It’s not an issue here. I need something that can cruise comfortably at 70+ for long distances.
