iv bought flooded cars before at salvage auctions and its hit or miss, with newer cars most electronic conections are sealed, if you turn the ign on and the dash works its likely that the water didnt get to high and you should be ok, since the radio,cluster heater controls arent sealed. i actually bought a truck a few yrs ago for a winter beater and the water was so high it actually pushed all the oil out of the engine, all i did was replace electronics like radio cluster heater controls switches.......drain the water and flush out of the engine rear ends gas tank and tranny and it started up on the same spark plugs once the water was out of the exhaust! hah couldnt believe it.....there are actually alot of 370zs for sale at the salvage auction now that have water damage from hurricane sandy, still has the stickers on the hood and wheels, in some instances a new car lot will just claim everything in there lot wether they are totaled or not its a gamble really
