If it was just a flood what happened to the center console? I would stay away unless around 10k that way if all else fails you can part it out and break even.

If I'm correct I think they bought it for 8k or just a tiny bit above that, that is all I got from my research on the car

Not sure what "branded" title means but I love when the guys selling salvage title say there was only minor damage...for an insurance company to not fix a car it has to have sustained major damage

To the OP, for that price stay away...

If you leave the doors and hatch open, and the car in the sun, it will dry out in a couple of days.

That is not always true. A body shop has to make money. They rape insurance company's. I see it all the time. also working in the trade I see the actual cost of materials used. Also in parts new or used. A Ridiculous mark up.




With all the right resources you can save a lot of money and have a nice car.

Fail.

It is not the water vapor or the damp stink. It is the water intrusion in every connector and fouling the axle oil and the corrosion (unseen) and...
