This car was purchased by me here on ebay in October 2012 for $9000 (the pictures are gone but the item 130775842660 with the description from original seller is still available via search and it shows the VIN number). After examining the car (including running computerized diagnostics) my mechanic was very pleased with it - everything looked great, in fact he was surprised how well it was maintained by previous owner. It did not need anything - not even brakes or tires or other minor stuff you might expect to change when buying used car. The car passed inspection without any issues whatsoever. I only got to drive it a couple of times though. On October 29th it was flooded by Hurricane Sandy. The water came and went within hours so I don't know for sure how high it got but for the purpose of this auction I will assume 2-4 feet of salt water or whatever is enough to enter and compromise all systems. I did not attempt to start the car afterwards, it is still parked at the same spot were it was at the time it got flooded. I only vacuumed the water from the inside and spent some time air drying the interior. It was not done to conceal the fact that the car was flooded but to prevent mold and odors because I was told that otherwise all the uphostery would need to be replaced. It worked - the car does not have musty/moldy smell. However, I want to point out again - I HAVE NOT TRIED TO START THE CAR, PLEASE ASSUME THAT IT DOES NOT RUN, IT WAS FLOODED BY SALT WATER DURING HURRICANE SANDY. The title is clear. The car will need to be picked up and towed by the buyer at their expense (from zip code 11224). $200 deposit due within one day of the auction end.
