Be advised if your used car shopping... especially off of the Internet...

Katrina will have created a HUGE supply of "Floaters" that the scammers will be trying to pass off as "good used cars” Especially through FleBay..

A Car History might tell you if it is a Katrina victim. But you can't be "sure".

Look deep under the dash and in captive spaces of the wheel wells, for signs of flooding before you buy. and just use a little better judgment then you might normal

 

Good advice PW. The road side sellers are notorious for this. Im sure Houston will have a bunch of these since we have such a large market for cars here. Buyer beware.

 

Ohhh, not like "Floaters" in the toilet......

 

good point wiz. the used part market should be very strong for quite some time as well.

 

lots of times they take cars like this up north so it isnt suspected

 

After watching the news today...

Another way to tell if the car came from New Orleans.. is look for bullit holes!

 

.....or look for cadavers! []
