Flood Damaged Cars

Salt water damaged thousands of cars during Hurricane Sandy and these vehicles are showing up on used car lots.  The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission has created a web site with a drop down menu to find cars issued a salvaged or flood title by their make, model, or VIN number.  You can access that by going to NJMVC.gov.
Any damage to a Hurricane Sandy Flood vehicle should be noted on the title of the car with the letter "F".  Of course, the dealer should inform you of the condition of the car.  Before you purchase a used car in New Jersey, you should read the article and see the video at http://www.nbc40.net/story/21235702/watch-out-for-sandy-damaged-vehicles-when-buying-used
