Some dealers are honest. I have been looking to buy some katrina flood cars and sell as parts cars only. I do not misslead people when selling a car. Check my ebay auction user id: tidecarguy : I disclose everything and even offer inspections before final sale with free carfax. Money made form these cars could be donated to help the people of LA. Anyone wanting to sell a katrina cars, truck, etc. for body parts only contact me. I wil donate Part of profit to help victims of storm.

Are you people off your nut?

I would love to get my hands on a flood car.... they are dirt cheap and can be easily rebuilt to get a good 4-6 years out of..... not bad at all from a financial standpoint.

and as for the possibility of breakdowns... drive down any highway and you will see someone broke down.... even in a non flood car.

get real people.

I would like to no what a person does who has bought 1 0f these cars 5 months ago from a local car dealer and just now found out it was a flood car, am I stuck with it or what? does any one know if I have any choices?

Do not buy Katrina flood cars, it's dangerous. There were various toxins in the water, and if you cut yourself on any car part flodded by Katrina, you could get sepsus. A Firefighter in Mississippi passed away 6 days after a small cut on his finger. Read James E. Guyette's article about it.

Finally! Someone speaks of the toxic dangers that these cars present to owners and service people (Anonymous, May 23). Here's a link to the James E. Guyette article referred to in that message. http://www.motorage.com/motorage/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=310515

hi there , i am from dubai uae .We in dubai love ur flood damaged cars .there are thousand being offloaded daily at the ports here .there is a big market for imported flood damaged or rebuilds here and we have no title restrictions , once the car passes a technical test at the local traffic dept its a clean car , and the traffic dept is not very touchy about rust or flood damage as long is it is in running condition is good to go.Altough they are a bit touchy about chasis frame repair , but if it is not totally rusted out it's cool.I personally have bought and sold many flood damaged cars here imported from usa and they run perfectly and its not very expensive to repair and maitain cars here and parts are cheap too.I am currently restoring a 2000 jeep wrangler which has extensive roll over and flood damage but i got for a deal around 5500$ in ur money with aleast 5000$ in extra off-road goodies fitted , Totall cost to have it fully restored and running again is around less than 8000$ .A normal with no extras same model costs around 13000$ and thats just the basic with nothing on it .So all i have to say is if u dont want them .Keep sending them over here :)

I purchased a Lincoln and it was beautiful, triple white, and one day I took my Mom with me to a Rose Show and on the way home I rode over a bump and suddenly the car was filled with dust and dirt. The bump had caused a clump of dirt to dislodge and hit the fan in the air conditioner and blew all over us. At home I got a hose out and put it into the frame of the car and the drive way was covered with sand that washed out of it. I knew the car had been flooded. Two weeks later I drove over the dips in the intersection by the house and the drivers side front wheel ball joint broke loose and the wheel caved inward and the frame fell on the wheel and was lucky no one was hurt. The insurance recorded it as a collision, I collided the pavement. Actually, they are correct. So, beware, I sold the car as soon as it was fixed and the dealer I traded it to junked it, they said the windows stopped working and the motor started smoking when started. I did feel bad that I didn't tell them.

I just want to buy a Katrina Car to completly take apart and build a Race Car out of it.

In reading these postings, I am noticing that some people want the shells of these cars. Do they not realize that the waters from Katrina were contaminated with all kinds of nasty stuff??? We lost a 1999 Ford Taurus, water up to the roof of the car parked in our garage. There is no way I would've tried to clean it and keep the shell, the smell was unbelievable and the germs!!! Can't even begin to imagine.
