    Why is it that the casa/dealer is asking for us to sign a waiver after repairing a flooded vehicle?

    The casa called me and said that I can now get the vehicle. It is now running. However there is a part (throttle something) that they still need to replace. I can now get the car but have to sign a waiver in case anything happens. I said no and will wait for it to be replaced.

    My wife's cousin's civic is also in the same casa. The SA also told her cousin that the car is now running. However there can be some knocking sounds they can hear occassionally. They can now take their car but will need to sign a waiver.

    Why are they offering the cars said to be in running condition but need a waiver for release?

    Has anyone had this experience? If not, would you sign a waiver? Looks scary to me.

    Because flooded cars will have more flood related problems as the days and months pass. What might happen is the car owner will claim the future repairs as "back-jobs". The waiver gives them a way-out on future flood-related-problem repairs.

    What does the waiver stipulate? That they wont be held liable for any accidents caused by the part that is yet to be replaced? Waiver to no guarantee/warrantee on repaired parts?
