KBB puts the CLEAN TITLE average value of a 2021 Stingray convertible 3LT Z51, with 6K miles and in "very good" condition, at $89k. Subtract approximately 25% for salvage value (possibly more as it was likely saltwater flood damage) and you have a residual/repaired salvage value of $66,750.

Very nice grab for whatever reason. It be nice to learn of the backstory on it as we know Florida had some flooding a little while back and as mentioned the title may not allow you to garner what you may want from a sell, which is all the reason more of maybe holding onto it. It looks and sounds as though you’ve fallen in love with it and I know every time I drive mine it’s better than the last time and there’s not an instance where I don’t l👀k back when I park it and smile and say “that’s mine, that’s my whip?” I go into the garage on nasty days and just look at it and sometimes get in it and sit. Enjoy it while you have and if blessed with this one, so shall you be blessed to keep it and make up for it down the road. Find New Roads!

On issue that totals a lot of minor flooded cars is that many shops don’t want to work on them so the adjuster can’t really estimate the fix but has a good idea what it will be worth as a parts car. You can get started working on a flooded car and find out after you’ve spent some money that you should have totaled it.

When buying flood damaged cars, especially those in coastal areas, my worry is saltwater. Even if the car looks clean, a little salt water can lead to a lot of long-term damage that isn't easily or cheaply fixed. Congratulations on your buy, you did get a good deal. Might be a good idea to go ahead and flip it before any long-term damage shows up.

Fantastic videos guys! I really like the way you check the engine oil before you even attempt to start a vehicle up. If you remember, could you please explain in a little more detail why the GM trucks have potential troubles/water inside their transmissions, where the Ford seems to not have that issue? How does a Dodge Ram rate for potential water in their transmissions?

@Booyouslut
@Booyouslut Жыл бұрын
I've heard that the idea is to push the water back out the breather because water will sit on top of the Trans fluid because they don't mix. Once Trans is over filled and pushed the water out you change the Trans fluid so less water gets down in the Trans then you warm up to temp then drain and fill again inspecting fluid. Not a mechanic but we did that on trucks we took too deep into water lol

Looks like the water that got in there drained out through the bolt holes. As it did, the oils along with salt were left near the bolts (the "gel"). I would definitely want to rinse/clean around those areas because the residual salt is going to pull water in from the air. 😬

Diamond in the rough FOR SURE! It's such a gamble but newer cars like this are ALMOST airtight. So even if the water was half-way up the doors, the interior intrusion is minimal. Insurance companies weigh the odds and make a decision. I would not be surprised if this car was not even looked at by the insurance carrier.
