I have scene the news and read the articles, the news is VERY uneducated on this topic of flooded/damaged cars (and guns), they just want to put the fear in the public.
This is what I do
for a living (Copart.com) I transport for them. It is up to the insurance company what they want to do with the damaged vehicles....Some are being stored and will go straight to the crusher (State Farm did this with Katrina cars) Most other companies are selling the cars as "Parts", the insurnace comapny gets the title and shreds it, sold on a bill of sale only marked "FLOOD". Rhis is a way the can recover some of their loss. There is virtually no way someone can obtain a title for these cars. The insurance companies do not want the liability down the road either.
