What is the conventional wisdom regarding engines pulled from cars damage in Katrina, etc. For example this item on eBay…
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=8039116011 It is clearly listed as a flood car so there are no apparent shenanigans going on here. I think this is a re-listing as the engine apparently didn’t sell previously. But what is the fair market value for engines like this? What type of special damage can you expect to find in a flood damaged engine vs. a regular high mileage/tired engine to be used as a core in a rebuild? Are flood damaged engines a potentially good source for rebuildable cores? |
