I met a guy in a car wash who had a trailer with two flood damaged vehicles. For a living, he drove to areas that had experienced flash flooding, and be bought non-running flood damaged cars for cash and loaded them on his trailer. He did this while the cars were still wet, then he took them to the car wash, pulled the interiors out, and washed the cars inside and out, engine compartment, trunk space, everything. Then he dried the cars out and put them back together. He told me he avoided salt water damaged cars, but he said he got most of his purchases cleaned up, dried out, and running and then sold for a huge profit at the cost of a small cash investment, the transportation expenses, and 10 hours or less of labor for each vehicle. The cars he could not get running/sold he parted out and still made a little.
