Buying from New Jersey. Should I be worried about flood?

Carmax is worthless. One of the "carmax" , in the NE was busted for supplying false documents to the dealers. I bought a Suburban with a clean Carmax report, only

Carmax is worthless. One of the "carmax" , in the NE was busted for supplying false documents to the dealers. I bought a Suburban with a clean Carmax report, only to find over spray, etc. Minor finder bender, but the report was not accurate . Mr. Willis about the rust is probably the best info. It is sad that the car sales industry, in our nation, is so untrustworthy. I hate it for you, but you are already worried, so beware. Ask about Nissan's Certified Warranty. When we bought our 370 used, the warranty came with it no cost, like seven years from the original date of purchase.
Excuse me ... CarFax!!!

I agree. Consumer scam. They only know about what is Reported to them, by participating shops. There is also a VIN check online that you can get for like $6 which is also worthless.
As far as the vehicle being in the flood, I'm gonna say your nose is your best point of reference. Tough to get that wet dog smell out of your interior.
I'm guessing that unless the car was submerged for a long period of time, you wouldn't have any other issues, but I'm far from being an expert on these matters.

Just find another car. This is going to bother you forever. Our home & cars were flooded in Hurricane Ike.
