Hagerty was great with the valuation of all his cars and paid him. He kept the tractor but 1000 cars were towed from the flooded area. No info on what the insurance company does with the hulks, but I assume a lot of crushing with the numbers of cars.

Yes its a shame. That 993 I resurrected after the flood was also totaled regardless of its condition. The camry too! The insurance companies are totaling the cars sight unseen.

The 993 I was trying to save for the guy was only in 18 inches of water. He removed the battery terminals when he saw the water was coming up. The water was below the taillights by about an inch. I removed all the interior and all the "computers" under the seats. I dried them all out and reinstalled them. The car is mechanically fine. Water did not get high enough to enter any of the vents in the trans or engine. The car is completely drive-able, just needs complete cleaning of the carpets and seats to be complete. If it were mine I would just find another set of good used seats because these have a good amount of wear and one rip anyways. The carpet kit is not that much either to just replace. Then the car would be 100%. My friend had planned a few times to sell the car anyways, so when the told him they would just total it and give him his agreed value for the car, he did not hesitate. It is a shame because it is a good car otherwise. It is still here at my house waiting on the check to arrive and then we will arrange for it to be picked up. His wife's camry was the same way. She was actually using it but her drivers door lock was giving her some trouble (2012 camry) so the insurance company said if the seats had got wet then they were totaling it.

George,
Tell your friend to get a couple of good dehumidifiers in that garage if he has not already done so- It will significantly help dry things out, and help keep the mold under control - regardless of what he does with the cars - TE |
