Great information and honest truths about his knowledge. I am working to get a GMC truck for work and your common sense is appreciated.

Excellent! If I want to buy a flooded Mercedes Benz GLC320d 2020 what do you recommend? Maybe this models have more sensors than that Nissan you show. You got my like. Thanks.

will company fitted CNG will get effected by flood, (hyundai aura)? Should I buy it?

When you say salt water, are you referring to ocean water? Would rain flood be considered fresh water?

Hi, how do I reach you by direct massaging?

Hahaha I’ll make sure I say it in one of the new videos.. Stay tuned! )

He’s Russian not Italian 😂😂😂

LMFAO 😂

Yep, flood cars with little or no water inside are some one the best ones to buy! One tip I forgot to mention in the video, which I’m sure you know, is to always try to inspect these cars in person before buying or hire an inspector! It’s very hard to tell from the pictures how bad was the damage.. Thanks for watching!

@@SalvageSecrets I agree. I check out everything myself and am an inspector at the Tulsa, OK Copart yard. You ever venture out and find one this way your interested in, give me a shout and I'll inspect it for you.

@@freddywells5785 Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it!

@@SalvageSecrets Where can I find an inspector to examine the car?

@@freddywells5785 Do you know any reliable inspectors in New York ?

Find him and make him say "that's a spicey meatball!"

@@sameeraiq_ That is not what I meant. To restore flood car requires intricate knowledge, to restore it properly. Its a long discussion. And would be hard to respond in here. When car is restored, then it’s restored. There is many people on the market that fix flood cars that don’t know what they are doing, and when they sell the car it’s not really restored. The statement I made about SRS is just response to a comment made in the video. When you hear on the news channels to run away from flood cars, they don’t know what they are talking about. Where do you think all the flooded cars for past 15 years went? You would be right if you say back on the market. If the statement that all flood cars are terrible and dangerous were true, then this door of restoring flood cars back on the road would be long shut. So in short, if you buy car from a trustworthy and honest person then it is safe. Or if you have the skills to restore car properly. This involves troubleshooting electronics, engine rebuilding. and proper cleaning knowledge. If you buy a car from auction and the water turned out to be inside the engine. Then it’s all coming out and apart, the way you see fools rebuilding water damaged Maserati on KZfaq by just cleaning things up and draining water and flushing the engine is not enough. The reason for that is that the two months while car was sitting on the auction lot with water inside rust the cylinder walls. When they flush the engine they don’t remove rust. The piston rings scrape the rust off. That abrasive rust residue goes through the main bearing with oil consuming them in no time. Then engine overheats ceases bearings and blows the sides. Witch exactly what happened to them within 50 miles after flood repair. So basically this was not a repair since they did not repair damages from water, all they did is got it to the point where it fixed enough where it ran. Good thing it blew while they had it and not after they sold it.

@@zeomarmob If we look at this video for example, would you call their approach properly restored? I would say no. I'm pretty sure the seat belt pretensioner/igniters were not designed to sit in water for any period of time, these guys clearly didn't replace those. Will it work when in an accident? Maybe... maybe not. Did they just clean the carpet and put it back in or did they replace the pad and carpet? Likely not, with his "$500 dollar repairs" comments. I would say this is more of a hack job than anything else. There will be no issues with the car for a couple of years, but the damage will eventually surface by which point they will have washed their hands of it. That is the issue with most dealers, they have no clue of the issues down the road, they only see the first couple of months as problems, the rest they don't acknowledge.

Nope.. Those are rarely accurate. It’s always best to inspect flood cars in person before buying!

Dev JB Great answer! Thanks for taking the time to reply..

U gotta on the site with a good mechanic with experience to check the car before the sale date

@@influencebaye8916 mechanic won’t do shjt since you are not able to start or even test drive the car lol .

@@mikixP hmm yes you are lol at the auctions you can start the car and sometimes even drive it 🤣

@@mikixP you can start and “drive” 2 feet toward 2 feet backwards.

@@EuSoumMiTo IAA says don't sit in the car or start the car.

Thanks man! We do get burned too once in a while but it's just part of the game.. ;)

Thank you so much! Be sure to subscribe to our Facebook group too - the link is in the description..

@anonymous Hell No

Thanks for the feedback! It’s hard to tell exactly how deep the car was flooded especially after someone already messed with it but a good place to start would be to look under the seats and inspect the plugs to see if there is any corrosion or wiring the was fixed or replaced.. You can also look under the dash and look for signs of corrosion.

But if you're not handy it's gonna be a problem

Yes. the title and Vin will be branded Flood or Salvage.

Did you end up getting it?

Yes, that's the question! How do you know how deep was the car in the water, or what kind of water was it? Please answer this question!

all of that is meant to get wet and is also exposed to the elements on a regular basis, even having salt and anti-ice chemicals splash up during winter months .. no worries just go to a car wash and get the under carriage pulsed or use a jet sprayer and go over it well..
