Problems/Buying a flooded or water-submerged car? [MERGED]

[OldSchoolHack]

We're assuming no casa with their stocks of brand new cars was submerged underwater. Example the Honda, Toyota, Kia and one more I cannot recall (Nissan?) now is in QC Avenue right beside a creek. Good thing about Honda is their new cars are way up there in the (3rd? 4th?) higher floors. What about the other casa? Those in the display room?

Buy a 2010 model.......para sure.....
