Unless you are confident in your abilities as an automotive mechanic, there is really only one rule when purchasing a flood-damaged vehicle: don’t do it. Unfortunately, sometimes sellers aren’t particularly straight-forward with their used cars. Many will try to hide the fact that it’s been damaged by floodwaters at all or try to convince potential buyers that the car is in fact fine. “It has gone months with no issues” or “technically it is flood-damaged but” are two red flags, and while it isn’t impossible for a flood car to be fine, it’s altogether a good idea to stay away.
Performance cars require mechanics that perform.
Since its debut in 1953, the Corvette has undergone numerous and dramatic changes throughout the decades. Produced continuously since its unveiling, seven generations of distinctly different Corvettes have been sold, each an American icon. Still, Corvette has remained true to its original concept: two seats, eight cylinders, speed, beauty, and performance without the European price tag are hallmarks of every Corvette.
