Yep, if it gets in the salt water it's toast. You can nver fix it unless you replace all of the electrical; ALL OF IT and that doesn't include the rest of the car
Most car flooding happened inland from the lakes, rivers and retention ponds. A quick Carfax lookup will also tell you where in Florida they lived. The smell test of the interior (carpet) will also tell you if it was salt water coz man it has a distinct putrid odor! My mom is 2 miles from the Tampa Bay... She was flooded out by her nearby retention pond. That location hasn't experienced a flood in 34 years!
I have a good friend that owns an auto body shop in Maryland and tells me it blows his mind at how fast insurance company's are yo total vehicles today.
We rode out both storms, but we were 80 feet above sea level, both of our Toyota's were in the garage and be didn't have to file any kind of storm damage claims, but just wait, our home owners, along with auto insurance will double next year.
@@beachside1 We're at what is called the spine of the county, for 20 miles you drive along this part of US19 and your GPS has you at 70 to 92 feet above sea level.
I bought a Toyota four-wheel-drive truck at Alabama with a clean title took it to my house in Florida then took it to my mechanic and he said this is a flood truck. The horn would go off in weird times, the windows would go up and down on their own, lights would come on and off on their own. It was a nightmare. I finally justjunked it.
Micheal that Bmw M3 E30 should be a good car to save! Here in Europe those cars go for a big money, and there are a lot of parts/customs for them from America 😉
BMW is the worst car brand ever made. Even before the flood damage. Where to begin. 1. Fuse panel under the glove box (idiots). 2. Plastic intake manifold (stupid). 3. Starter located above motor, behind intake (reverse engineering). 4. TWO Faulty fuel pumps in the gas tanks. I would rather ride my bike.
@chefgiovanni Name an auto manufacturer that does Not use plastic intakes. Name one that has no electrical issues. BMW is just another fish in the sea.
I hope you know the difference between salt water and fresh water damage. Those salt water damaged cars are done. There's no saving them. You will have so many problems down the road and I'm not even talking about the rust issue but you wouldn't care because your selling them to people. If anyone is watching this and is thinking about buying a rebuilt salt water flood car, don't.
I learned from my uncle .. When salt water touches those electronics just say good buy to any funds you save and that you are playing a dangerous game ...
Put a new wiring harness in,replace computers and modules as necessary. Getting a deal is a numbers game 150k car for ? and putting ? is the game or getting the dream car very cheap and having the fun of going through it yourself.
This reminds me the Top Gear episode about one Toyota Hilux/Tacoma that was dump into the sea tides beach.. with minor repair that things still alive..
The Model A would be easy to fix, it doesn't look like it got much water in it if any. Just replace the wooden floor check the engine and away you go. I am not so sure anyone would want some of those 'high end' cars with flood damage, people can be very fussy with those types of cars. Bentley's for example are very 'Voltage sensitive' , if they are left unused for long you get lots of weird lights on the dashboard. Take care Micheal. 👍👍
Well Mike, in my world flooded cars is a no go,unless you need it for parts only, so if you seen 5 flooded you seen them all, it begins to be a bit boring now with your looking at flooded, buy,fix and sell is what most of us likes to see!.
I hate it when guys like this try to minimize the true damage to these vehicles. Any modern vehicle from 1970 on up can be a potential nightmare to bring back to life. Please don’t give folks an overly optimistic view of how difficult and expensive it is to restore a flood car. And I haven’t even talked about title issues.
@@davidcollin1436 David, That is the time all car makers started to change their cars due to new regulations. I lived through that time and it was during the early 70's that they were adding things like smog pumps and rating the engines different. Captain Keith
While its great for us buyers. I find it funny the older cars with minimal electronics end up there. Most of the cars I saw (and purchased) were non-salt water floods. There's nothing more distinct than opening a car door from a salt water flood sitting in the sun for 2 weeks. It's like opening a concentrated red tide event of death. lol.
What corvettes? As soon as I saw that E30 I was blinded............then he reviews every plastic super appliance and skips the car with soul..........arg 🤨
Some can be saved. I'm driving a flood salvage title 2011 Camaro at the moment. It came out of Texas in 2018 when a GM insurance adjuster bought it and drove it 7 years before selling it to me. Great car still.
OmG how did you ignore that 80's e30 bmw m3!!!!!!!!!! That thing would be worth $100k in New Zealand! Maybe 80k US or so. There was a 60's corvette too I recall, hidden away in the background. All those classics would sell so well here. Especially RHD like the MGB in another video in North Carolina. Love to know what they went for if you watched them. :) Thanks Nick
This amount of expensive and not expensive hurricane damaged vehicles is ridicules!!!! If the person that owns these cars and loses them over and over, I think the ins. companies should drop them, of course that never happens. What blows my mind is why all these expensive imports and other expensive cars are just left to weather the hurricanes in Florida in the first place. The owners get enough warning days ahead that they could get the cars to a safer place, but they choose not to and that is just hard to understand. They sure can't blame it on they can't find someone to help them move the car, I'm sure a friend or neighbor would be glad to help them get the car to safety!! I even watched a video that this one guy from Florida said just before Helene that he was debating whether he should just leave his wife's SUV, because she's been wanting another one anyway. That right there just pretty much summed it all up!! I don't think he thought the guy was videoing what he said. It's like the cars mean nothing to them, but those of us that have to work hard to have anything end up paying for it all in super high insurance on an everyday car. Over and over these owners leave the cars, collect the insurance and buy another expensive car!!! I have watched so many videos in Florida right after hurricanes and you'll see expensive cars everywhere flooded out and damaged. This number of damaged cars just makes me sick, especially those vintage cars. As an everyday person, I would be so afraid of buying one of these cars and I'm sure many will end up on car lots in other states with a buying not having an idea at all they were in a flood. Great video as always.
Unfortunately there are many people that purposely leave their cars in dangerous areas knowing they will be totaled by their insurance company. I doubt that very many will come out ahead financially. In’s. Cos. Usually low ball the residual value.
@@Kevin19700 I totally agree. They know they'll get something so they don't care, they have money and will just buy a newer one, it's not a big deal to them.
It's sad because most the time they can move their vehicles more inland .. I can see this only being a problem if you are out of the country and on the other side of the world .. For anyone buying any flood car I would only take my chances on a fresh water but those salt water vehicles will leave you broke and then you know you will be playing a dangerous game when those electronics start to hear up or spark up a fire 🔥
Awesome video! The only thing I'll never forgive you is not to check the gray Aston Martin between the Mercedes GT AMG and the blue McLaren. Many blessings! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I, personally, will never buy another flood car to fix. Electronically there is always something else that is broken or will break or was fixed and will break again.
The silver gray Cobra and the green MG beside it are good choices. THEY HAVE LITTLE TO NO WIRING IN THEM. Anything fairly new is loaded with computer shit, great lawn ornaments..
Living here in ATL, I’ve always been apprehensive about cars on used lots here and if they came from a FL hurricane zone. I’ve read horror stories of people buying with their eyes first. They like the price and think it’s a deal until they get the bad news.
Ever seen a wet iPhone circuit board under a microscope? Every one of those cars out there with modules that were submerged will need every one of those modules replaced.
Most viewers don't care or just want to turn a profit. I don't trust Carfax or any other garbage reporting agencies. Your right...the control moduels...any of them in saltwater are destroyed.
Woah! That's super sad but, so many great parts that could be used on other vehicles, body parts, and panels, etc. Is there a way to watch the auctions of when these items go up??? Seems like so many of these could be used for auto body salvage, if nothing else. Uggh, what a devastation!!!
I'll take the E30 M3 Evo at 5 minutes in! Replace the carpet for $2,500, go through the harness and neutralize any corrosion, whatever, $10,000 fixes that M3 up real nice, if it sells for $8,000- $12,000 it's so worth it. That M3 was sold on the sales floor next to the first E-36's, they are very rare, the Evo rear wing gives it away.
Few. It's FL. Lots and lots of wealthy people with houses on the, or very close to the beach, and they got the high water storm surge to drown their cars. The beach lots with the destroyed homes which have been put up for sale (already) go for MILLIONS.
@@victorsong8416 it's crazy cause those million dollar homes are going to sit there, nobody would want to buy those after this hurricane and you know who's going to buy them up .. You guess right .. Those same realator companies. They will mark them up even higher after the repairs and now it's mandatory they make even detail known about those homes when they are listed on Zillow, Remax etc .. So people with brains not gonna buy those homes ..
I was hoping you would show the cars you had in your thumbnail. There was an orange Corvette. I was hoping you would show but loving the show really nice good job.
As someone thats done extensive work on cars that have been damaged by flooding especially in salt water all depends how long it was submerged. Ive had stuff work just fine once it got dry
When i went to Ft Lauderdale back in 05, people driving Lamborghini's. Its exotic all right. But would not risk buying a car flooded out in massive salt water state.
@@TinoMillerafter sandy we had an adjuster come through and if the water touched them even the tires the car was totaled. Whole Toyota dealer got sent to auction
A good look can think on the work on some can be worth it. For flooded cars in Florida the price buy can be a lot cheaper can see forty grand easy. I'd say good luck Nikko . I'll keep you in mind as the work week is ahead.
Maybe it has been said before, but they do make small hand-held jumper boxes. Maybe to at least check out the power, then maybe start. Or do they not let you bring that in..
I cannot believe this video. You showed us some "neat" vehicles but nothing very special, imho. Then you walked right past the BMW M3 that would bring the buyers to your door. Then at the end with your drone flyover I see a couple early 1970's Chrysler products and the nose of what looks like an early to mid 1970's Corvette. But right under the drone is a 1968 Camaro with the RS/SS package (ice cube trays on hood, RS grill, round wheel wells="68?) and a white, right hand drive Nissan R33!! And those are cars you failed to show?! The R33 is a unicorn in the US for JDM fans, even a non-GTR Skyline coupe is in high demand, and those others?!..... I would kill to have any in my garage and have a blast rebuilding them over time.
Mike doesn't know what a classic car is if it doesn't have a computer He doesn't know how to start it . I got the 1966 Mustang running for Him . SCRUBS SAY NIKO BROWS OTAY |
Buy the old cars, easier to sell and fix up, I'd love to be there with you........cobras all the way for me , old school are simple to fix , even with wire harnesses, motor overhaul, steam cleaning, crew of six people......im drooling and very envious of you being able to walk through this 😮
Seems like if you have a salt water flooded vehicle the best possible thing you could do is drive it into a freshwater lake to get rid of all the salt and then pull it back out maybe drive it into a pool and get it back out to displace all the salt.
The number of cars is staggering. It might be worthwhile to find out which county the car comes from. Inland counties might not be saltwater & more like the Carolina cars you showed in the previous videos.
Is a dealer license needed to visit or bid? Very different goals, saw several trucks to be inspected. The 34 Chevy(?) is a gem and a homerun for 30k-50k or less. A lot of these are time and work and the main problem is insanely massive unnecessary electronics. Could pull most apart and rinse out install new wiring harness but the computers and modules would need to be sourced from a wreck and reprogrammed. The washed out Corvettes if cheap enough could be basis of kit cars ( drive train and suspension- part out body for crash repair). The Cobra kit cars are a must at the right price.
I'd buy the cobra or Model A since there aren't that many electronics in them. The late model cars are a no go except for parts cars for body panels and a few other items.
40:32---it a good chance its a factory 5 roadster kit car. ( cobra to you) they made 6,500 of those and sold the unassembled kits for around $30,000. Theres a chance you could get all the parts you need from factory 5 to take the flood outta 1 of those...maybe. if that one isn't a factory 5 there might be another one in there somewhere.
The biggest concern isn't just water damage, it's highly corrosive salt water damage.
Yep, if it gets in the salt water it's toast. You can nver fix it unless you replace all of the electrical; ALL OF IT and that doesn't include the rest of the car

This puts things in perspective why insurance rates have skyrocketed and us peasants have to pay
I have a good friend that owns an auto body shop in Maryland and tells me it blows his mind at how fast insurance company's are yo total vehicles today.
We peasants also pay in our home insurance to cover insurance company losses from hurricane damaged homes like those in Florida.

So, how do you go about purchasing vehicles from there?
I love 4raBETT, the odds are great and it's always fair. Feels good to win.
Is a dealer license needed to visit or bid? Very different goals, saw several trucks to be inspected. The 34 Chevy(?) is a gem and a homerun for 30k-50k or less. A lot of these are time and work and the main problem is insanely massive unnecessary electronics. Could pull most apart and rinse out install new wiring harness but the computers and modules would need to be sourced from a wreck and reprogrammed. The washed out Corvettes if cheap enough could be basis of kit cars ( drive train and suspension- part out body for crash repair). The Cobra kit cars are a must at the right price.
I bought a Chevy station wagon muddy,hosed it down under the dash ran fine 30mpg😂🎉
I bet it wasn't salt water
Hi You missed the E30 BMW M3 - If It's still there kindly do a review on it, next to the Corvette
TO ANYONE buying these cars to resell- THERE IS A SPECIAL PLACE IN HELL FOR YOU!
I'd buy the cobra or Model A since there aren't that many electronics in them. The late model cars are a no go except for parts cars for body panels and a few other items.
I expect to see these cars on the market.. without mention of being submerged...
I subscribed hoping to see some of the auction or something. I'd be like a kid in a candy store walking around looking at those cars. Crazy!
Hey brothers, I really miss when you did car rebuild videos, I've seen more than enough "Copart walk around" videos to last a lifetime.
That e30 is worth so much
Nice videos, but you need a filter for your microphone. The wind is very loud.
It's taxing on the ears over time for sure😮💨
~ Can you get insurance on a Salvage Title where you live ?? ~
depends on how high the water level, amount of time spent in the water, or the value being paid...parting out pays
Any time in salt water is bad, fresh water is a different story

and you casualy walked by bmw e30 m3 :D
WOW! There are some amazing Vehicles at that Lot! I was Drooling seeing the Drone fly-over!

Saltwater cars are out. No chance getting happy on this ones. Game over!
I love you. ❤️ I love you. ❤️ I love you. ❤️ I love you. ❤️ String-ray and miss your beautiful family and friends and I love you. ❤️ ❤😂🎉😮😅😊😢
40:32---it a good chance its a factory 5 roadster kit car. ( cobra to you) they made 6,500 of those and sold the unassembled kits for around $30,000. Theres a chance you could get all the parts you need from factory 5 to take the flood outta 1 of those...maybe. if that one isn't a factory 5 there might be another one in there somewhere.
there should be a line they put on how high the water got. I've see that McLaren rebuild and they were finding salt everywhere.
😮flood damage is for electronic nightmare 's...lol😅
