Someone will buy em at auction, fix em back up, sell em for a huge profit. Too bad it happened though. Around here, the new car dealers are taking flooded/damaged new vehicles to repair facilities, fixing them with half-assed repairs, sending them back to different new car dealers and concealing the fact that they were damaged. There are ways to tell if the car was submerged, but hail damage can be hidden very well. :lol:

There are major penalties involved if they get caught trying to sell them as new. IIRC some dealers tried that a couple of years ago and got nailed.

The local G.M. dealer has donated to our school a new Cadillac CTS or CVS or FBI or whatever the performance model is called. It was flooded pretty bad,(Hydraulic locked damage). I want the PCM and sensors. The Chev guys are drooling over the engine already but no one wants to use the body for anything. If we had a Dodge it would get 'fought' over! :lol:
