Flood Titled Car
Flood Titled Car Has anybody ever bought a flood titled car? I have been noticing quite a few Z06's with flood titles for cheap. I'd been planning on getting a WS6 and swapping motors and putting a charger on it. But it seems I can get a Z for close to the same price with a flood title as a decent F-body. Is there anything I should look for? I figure motors shot, wiring harness possibly, but is there anything else? I guess what I'm asking is if the interior was not effected, what major parts might or should be looked at to decide if it is worth it. I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, but there seems to be a lot of knowledge in the Texas forum.
you know where all those cars with flood titles are coming from right, Katrina, i would be really careful right now about buying a flood title car

I bought a car once that I knew had been flooded up to the dash. Even after taking every connector loose under the dash and hood and drying everything out, draining all the fluids and making sure all the fluids was clean and fresh it still was the biggest headach I've ever owned. IMO, unless your willing to put up with whatever electrical "gremlins" may come along I'd say pass on flood titled cars. But that's JMO based on one very bad experience,,,,,,,,
It will cost you more in time, headaches, money than just buying a good car to begin with. With modern day electronics you do not want to make a mistake like that. It adds up to big $$$ pretty quick.
Well, after reading the posts, a few quotes come to mind. "You get what you pay for", and "If something seems too good to be true, it probably is."
I'm still considering it. The one I've had my eye on the owners claim water heighth was mid wheel.
