The insurance company hooked him up he got a BRAND NEW motor they paid for a new clutch and all fluids changed and some other stuff too. He was very lucky when it came to that.

Here is what I got. I live in Hampton just outside of Langley. Insurance totaled my 02 Camaro and 03 Trailblazer, got 11.5k for the camaro, only financed 8k, so got to buy back the 02 for only 2k. Rest of the money will go into some repairs and maybe a new SS hood and some headers. Trailblazer was a loss, fried the PCM under the rear seat, so had to get the wife a new DD.

The water outside my front door...





The cars under water, this was not at high tide, still got up another 6"....



Got some pics after water went down.....





And here is the 02 this passed weekend at Langley after some drying out and a cleaning....

Aw man I would be crying!

I was pissed when my a/c drip line was clogged and leaked condensation onto my pass side floor. A lot of water too.

You guys were lucky though, could of been worse though.

Got lucky, house sits just at 1' and half off the ground, so nothing got in the house, but the crawl space got hit. All the ducting and ac/heat system is shot. Lucky I rent and the landlady will have to deal with her insurance to fix it. I just get to complain untill its done.

It was another bad one. My TA has a Salvage title from Isabell about the same flooding in this noreaster except the car is not in Poquoson anymore. Locals know how the whole island flooded. Sorry to see all of the damage to the OP.

Good move on the buy back on the Camaro. That was about how the TA was. I bought it back for $1500.
Here is a list of what I replaced it may help you and others in this situation:
Replaced the carpet, Power seat motors, Alternator, and Starter. Never had any issues since the flood. I also sprayed all of the wires with moister and corrision inhibiter (spelling+beers )
The PCM is located High in F-bodys and the engine and trans are sealed so as long as the car was not running when it flooded you should be OK except for the Salvage/Water damage title. Just Make sure the DMV Titles it Salvage and not NONREPAIRABLE. I fought them 8 months to get car legal because some jackass in Richmond pushed the wrong key. I even had the car insured for 5 months while I was driving it before I found out DMV titled the car wrong. If you have any questions PM me.
