Flood, Water Damage

THIS CAR IS BRAND NEW AND HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT STILL HAS THE PROTECTIVE FILM COVERING THE HOOD, TRUNK AND WHEELS. IT SELLS FOR MORE THAN $19,000 AT THE DEALERSHIP. BUY IT HERE AND SAVE. THIS CAR HAS A CLEAR NON SALVAGE TITLE THAT REQUIRES NO ADDITIONAL STEPS AT THE DMV. Super storm Sandy flooded the new car dealerships of New Jersey and NYC destroying thousands of vehicles. Not all were destroyed, however. There were a few that sustained only minor damage in the form of water on the floorboards. As anyone who has driven in the winter knows, wet floorboards are not uncommon in cars. In fact, automobiles are engineered to withstand the effects from having water on the floorboards. The most important things to consider when looking at flood cars are: 1) How deep was the water? Did it rise above the floorboards and into the dashboard reaching the vehicle's sensitive electronics? If so, unless all of the electronics have been replaced, it should never see the road again. The cost of repair will surely send that car to the junkyard. 2) Assuming the water didn't rise above the floorboards into the dash, was the car allowed to dry out inside before the stench of stagnant water and mold and mildew began to grow? Often flood vehicles will sit weeks or even months while insurance companies work through the claim process and acquire a title in their name. If the windows are not rolled down to air out the car, the smell and mildew take over. At this point it's nearly impossible to remove the smell. 3) Can the seller tell you the depth of the water in the car? If not, stay away! Vehicles that have been water damaged will always have a water line indicating the depth of the water, similar to the ring you will find around the bath tub. This water line can sometimes be seen on the side of the vehicle. If not, check the door jambs and any area that will contain water such as pockets on the bottom of doors or the door pull that you grab to shut the door. Other areas to check would be behind trim panels, in the trunk, or in the motor or transmission. If water has entered the motor or transmission, it may have caused damage there and has likely reached the electronics in the dashboard, so stay away. So what am I selling? Brand new Honda Civics and Odyssey minivans that are all floorboard floods in which water didn't rise into the dashboard. Before you take delivery of these vehicles, the interior will be professionally cleaned and will look and smell new. You can choose one before it's cleaned just so you know what it looked like before. You can also buy one and clean it yourself and save even more. So far all other Honda models I've looked at have been too deep in the water but there will be thousands more Hondas and other makes and models too. I personally look at every one of the vehicles I buy and I have 28 years of experience in buying and selling vehicles such as these. Come out and take a look at: Remington Auto Parts, Inc, 12250 Strodes Mill Rd, Remington, VA 22734. Office: 800-259-1814 Cell: 540-423-2148. This is a new vehicle and has never been owned or titled by and end user. It's ownership chain went from manufacturer to insurance company to dealer. The floorboards of this vehicle got wet from the flooding caused by Super Storm Sandy. The carpet was removed, cleaned, dried, and reinstalled. It looks new, smells new, runs and drives new. The manufacturer will no longer warranty this vehicle, but for an additional amount you can buy a warranty. If you are interested in a warranty, please ask before you buy this vehicle. Ownership of this vehicle was transfered to me on a salvage certificate and the car underwent a DMV inspection, and I now have a clear Virginia title to transfer to the buyer. The clear title will carry the brand "water damaged," and will convey to the buyer the same rights of ownership as any non branded title. A sample of what the title will look like can be provided before purchase upon request. The brand is to protect consumers from being sold vehicles that have a damage history without their knowledge. It is never a good idea to make an expensive purchase without first looking at the product in person unless you are familiar with the seller. I recommend that anyone interested in purchasing this vehicle should come look at it in person. Customer's mechanics are welcome to inspect the vehicle and will have access to an automobile lift if desired. If however, you purchase it without seeing it in person, then inspect it at my place of business after the completion of the auction and find that it was misrepresented, I will refund any money received by me and cancel the sale. No returns will be accepted after customer takes delivery of the vehicle unless the customer purchases warranty coverage that provides for that. Please ask any question you have before the completion of the auction. After purchase of the vehicle I will require a deposit of 10% of the purchase price within 48 hours of the auction's end. Methods of payment for this transaction shall be escrow.com, wire transfer, or a cashier's check from a nationally recognized bank. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE DONE ALL THE THE WORK NECESSARY AT THE DMV TO CONVERT THE SALVAGE TITLE TO A CLEAR TITLE. IT NOW HAS A CLEAR NON SALVAGE TITLE AND IS READY TO REGISTER AND DRIVE.
