I figure if I can get a vehicle that only had wet carpet for $1,000 and it turns out to be junk, it wouldn't be much of a loss.
Just about anything I qualify for down here is going to be with a salvage title. Buy here, pay here, inhouse finance. Salvage title.

I agree with EB. Buying a flood damaged car is just asking for a lot of problems. Particularly electrical ones that can be very expensive.

My son works for a used car dealership and awhile back they bought a nice pretty new Ford Fusion Platinum Hybrid that looked brand new. It was not a flood car but a car that had been totaled with a title indicating that. The car looked great and was dirt cheap BUT it was a nightmare. It had been in a very bad wreck but was supposedly "rebuilt" while the body looked fine the electrical system was trashed. You could not turn the windshield wipers off and about a half dozen other weird electrical malfunctions could never be figured out and fixed. Sure did look good though and the price was incredible. You just couldn't drive it or sell it. LOL

Bingo! Preach it brother. First I would not believe that "just the carpet got wet" and secondly electrical issues caused from flooding can be almost impossible to fix and most times would mean replacing the entire wiring harness in the car which requires the car almost being disassembled. So many thousands of dollars any cost savings would be down the drain.

Regarding extended cab pickups it is a case of supply and demand. Not enough demand to keep producing them. My theory is once folks discovered how much more practical a 4 door Crew Cab is they never wanted to go back to an extended cab!

If you lived near me I know a cheap corolla. I’d recommend if you are just worried about a vehicle to get to and from work until you can afford something better
