Super storm Sandy flooded parts of New York and New Jersey destroying thousands of vehicles. Not all were destroyed, however. There were a few that sustained only minor damage in the form of water on the floorboards and some were not damaged at all. As anyone who has driven in the winter knows, wet floorboards are not uncommon in cars. In fact, automobiles are engineered to withstand the effects from having water on the floorboards. The most important things to consider when looking at flood cars are: 1) How deep was the water? Did it rise above the floorboards and into the dashboard reaching the vehicle's sensitive electronics? If so, unless all of the electronics have been replaced, it should never see the road again. The cost of repair will surely send that car to the junkyard. 2) Assuming the water didn't rise above the floorboards into the dash, was the car allowed to dry out inside before the stench of stagnant water and mold and mildew began to grow? Often flood vehicles will sit weeks or even months while insurance companies work through the claims process and acquire a title in their name. If the windows are not rolled down to air out the car, the smell and mildew take over. At this point it's nearly impossible to remove the smell. 3) Can the seller tell you the depth of the water in the car? If not, stay away! Vehicles that have been water damaged will always have a water line indicating the depth of the water, similar to the ring you will find around the bath tub. This water line can sometimes be seen on the side of the vehicle. If not, check the door jambs and any area that will contain water such as pockets on the bottom of doors or the door pull that you grab to shut the door. Other areas to check would be behind trim panels, in the trunk, or in the motor or transmission. If water has entered the motor or transmission, it may have caused damage there and has likely reached the electronics in the dashboard, so stay away. The manufacturer will no longer warranty this vehicle, but for an additional amount you can buy a warranty. If you are interested in a warranty, please ask before you buy this vehicle. Ownership of this vehicle was transferred to me on a salvage certificate and the car underwent a DMV inspection, and I now have a clear Virginia title to transfer to the buyer. The clear title will carry the brand "water damaged," and will convey to the buyer the same rights of ownership as any non branded title. A sample of what the title will look like can be provided before purchase upon request. The brand is to protect consumers from being sold vehicles that have a damage history without their knowledge. It is never a good idea to make an expensive purchase without first looking at the product in person unless you are familiar with the seller. I recommend that anyone interested in purchasing this vehicle should come look at it in person. Customer's mechanics are welcome to inspect the vehicle and will have access to an automobile lift if desired. If however, you purchase it without seeing it in person, then inspect it at my place of business after the completion of the auction and find that it was misrepresented, I will refund any money received by me and cancel the sale. No returns will be accepted after customer takes delivery of the vehicle unless the customer purchases warranty coverage that provides for that. Please ask any question you have before the completion of the auction. After purchase of the vehicle I will require a deposit of 10% of the purchase price within 48 hours of the auction's end. Methods of payment for this transaction shall be escrow.com, wire transfer, or a cashier's check from a nationally recognized bank. THIS VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DRY WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND SHOWS NO SIGN OF EVER HAVING BEEN WET AT ALL INSIDE. I HAVE DONE ALL THE WORK NECESSARY AT THE DMV TO CONVERT THE SALVAGE TITLE TO A CLEAR TITLE. IT NOW HAS A CLEAR NON SALVAGE TITLE AND IS READY TO REGISTER AND DRIVE. THIS CAR HAS A BEAUTIFUL BLACK INTERIOR, BRAND NEW TIRES AND IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE, BUT IT DOES HAVE SOME MINOR IMPERFECTIONS. ABOVE THE LEFT REAR WHEEL THERE ARE SOME SMALL INDENTATIONS WHICH ARE DIFFICULT TO SEE UNLESS YOU LOOK AT THE CLOSE UP PHOTOS. ALSO, THE ARE SOME SCRATCHES WHICH CAN BE SEEN IN THE CLOSE UP PHOTOS. IF YOU WANT ADDITIONAL PHOTOS OF THE IMPERFECTIONS, DON'T HESITATE TO ASK.
So what am I selling? Brand new and used Hondas, Nissans, Toyotas, BMWs, and just about any other make. Some are floorboard floods in which water didn't rise into the dashboard and some did not get wet at all. I personally look at every one of the vehicles I buy and I have 28 years of experience in buying and selling vehicles such as these.

Alonso wants an NSX, but did Honda block him from Le Mans?
Tue, Jan 20 2015One of the biggest changes in store for the 2015 Formula One World Championship will see Fernando Alonso moving back to McLaren. That means he'll be driving under Honda power for the first time, after spending the bulk of his career driving for Renault and Ferrari. And being Honda's new poster child, as the two-time World Champion is fast discovering, has its advantages and its drawbacks. According to the latest reports, Alonso had been negotiating a clause in his contract with McLaren that could have seen him driving a Porsche 919 Hybrid at Le Mans this year, but Honda reportedly stepped in at the last minute and scuttled the plan. The drive would have been Alonso's first in the famous 24-hour race, after having had the honor of waving the flag at La Sarthe last summer. In one of the wilder rumors that emerged during the prolonged silence over his move for this season, the Spaniard was also linked to a potential return for Ferrari to Le Mans. That prospect came to naught, and now the Porsche deal has been wheeled into the garage, as well. The upcoming F1 season is expected to be one of transition, adjustment and development for McLaren and Honda, but the Japanese automaker's involvement in his hiring may not be all bad news for Alonso. Following the reveal of the new Acura NSX, Alonso tweeted "You still don't know, but one day we will be together..." followed by a series of heart-eyed smiley-face emoticons and accompanies by images of Honda's new supercar. The implication is that the two-time World Champion is expecting to get his talented hands on an NSX of his own, and we can certainly see how Honda would appreciate the imagery of Fernando driving around in its flagship. Even if it doesn't, though, we're sure McLaren would be glad to hook him up with a company car of its own – though Lewis Hamilton encountered some trouble securing (a very specific) one for himself. Even discounting the front-running F1 machinery he's been tasked with piloting on track to an impressive 32 career wins, Alonso has had some lustworthy company cars at his disposal over the years. At Renault, he had a Megane RS to drive, and during his last stint at McLaren, he had an SLR 722. But since signing with Ferrari, he's been given the keys to FCA models as varied as a Ferrari FF, a special 599 GTO, a Maserati GranCabrio, a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and an Abarth 695... and those are just the ones we know about.
2015 Acura NSX burns to the ground at the 'Ring [w/video]
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Assuming all goes to plan, automakers test their vehicles to the breaking point in the months and years leading up to that vehicle's actual release into the public. Which is good, because it's much better for a car to break in glorious fashion in the hands of the company that produces it than in the driveway of an owner who just spent their hard-earned cash to get it.
Such was the case with this production-guise Acura NSX prototype that we saw running around the Nürburgring just the other day. We can't be 100-percent certain, but the burned-out carcass is wearing the same number plate as the car that was spotted earlier, so it's likely the very same NSX. We have no idea what was the cause of the blaze that turned this Acura into the car-b-q you see pictured above, but our spy shooters on the ground in Germany say it was not involved in any collision, having caught on fire all on its own with engineers behind the wheel.
The good news is that nobody was hurt, though the car is quite clearly a complete loss. We're sure there's another ready to to test in the burned car's place... just as soon as the engineers at Honda figure out exactly what went wrong. Have a look at the smoldering aftermath up above, and feel free to scroll down below to see a video of the car in much better circumstances.
Jay Leno finally gets his hands on the 2017 Acura NSX
Tue, Mar 1 2016It has been five years since Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld starred in a commercial about which one of them would get the first example of the new Acura NSX. After a long wait, they finally get a chance, but Leno is the first to check out the coupe in the latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The denim-clad host spends over 30 minutes with lead designer Michelle Christensen and Ted Klaus, global development chief engineer, to get the full scoop on the hybrid supercar. Leno and Christensen get into the nitty-gritty about the design process for the latest NSX, and she points out her favorite parts of the finished product. She had quite a challenge creating the new supercar. Over the model's long gestation, every adjustment to the shape forced changes elsewhere to direct the airflow correctly, and then the decision to switch to a different engine configuration added even more time. Klaus focuses on the engineering side, like using the Ferrari 458 and original NSX as the major benchmarks for the new one. He also takes a ride with Leno, and the comedian even cracks a grin driving it. Leno doesn't usually show much emotion behind the wheel, so the little smirk is high praise from him. Carve out some time for a detailed walk-through about the 2017 NSX in the latest clip from Jay Leno's Garage. Related Video:
