Flooded-Volvo horror story, etc. 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Dharvey on  Wed Apr 24 13:59 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Why the guy at the parts window at the local dealer warned me against ever buying an S80:

They had one in with 965 miles on the odometer. It had been a bit flooded. Not too high over the door sills.

But enough to flood out the electronics. The insurance company totaled it. $38,000 book value and it was only good for salvage.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:

What I don't understand about the vehicle described by Ryegirl is that it was flooded 10 years ago and it's just starting to rust. Seems to me if salt got to it back then, it would be all rotted out by now.

Maybe she should take it to a body shop?
