Post Resale Flood Cars In So.Cal.

Every time the Gulf gets a hurricane , I wait about four months and the flood cars begin appearing in the lower end used car lots here in So. Cal. ~ they're _NEVER_ sold as flood cars and poor folks think they're getting a killer deal on a three year old car or pickup .

Typically the flood car lasts about 5 years maximum and then simply explodes in non-repairable rust from the inside out .

As mentioned , a GearHead can get a killer deal , I like them as parts cars .
