I agree people would be lining up to buy it, seems fishy to me honestly.

Flooded Pull the seat belts all the way out and see how much crap is packed down in them, and check under the dash.
I bought a flood damaged car once , never again.
It smelled after a while and started to have all kinds of electrical problems. Not worth the hassle. Caveat emptor.

I see, I thought goshawk23 had offered him $5k, but I see now that the seller just told him he wanted more even before he offered $5k. I don't think the whole story sounds right though. How did the seller honestly get a slightly damaged '02 SS for $1,000 at auction? I mean, the engine and tranny is worth $4000 since it wasn't damaged. Was this some sort of Boss Hogg auction where he was the only bidder or what?
