I would like to know what problems can be expect from flood car. Checking the oil and gas would let you know if you have a flood car. What problem do flood car owner actually experience? I am considering buying a flood car and would llike to khow what kind of problem to prepare myself for. This would also help in determining a fair price. thanks

personally I would stay away from a flood car,some of the problems would be constant electrical problems due to such heavy water intrustion as well as a constast musty smell that you cannot get rid of.most flood cars are poorly fixed and gone through. I've worked on a few flood cars they were a nightmare,chasing intermitin problems that come and go because of corroded wiring that takes forever to find,all the modules have problems from water.these are just some problems you will experence,I would advise against it,the money you will spend fixing this vehicle could buy you one with a warranty.post back with any other questions.
