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.

Acura Type S Concept looks even better in the Monterey sun
Sun, Aug 18 2019A few days ago, Acura showed its Type S Concept in an album of dramatically lit press photos. It is our extreme pleasure to report that the Acura Type S Concept on display at The Quail, with no shadows nor Photoshop to hide in, is even more pleasing to the eye than it was in those photographs. This is the sedan the brand said "sets the stage for re-introducing Type S performance variants to the Acura line-up after a decade hiatus, and will heavily influence the character of the upcoming, second-generation TLX Type S." Our hope is that the phrase "heavily influence the character of" is code for the word "be," and Acura's simply not ready to admit it yet. From the new rectangular "Jewel Eye" LED headlights to the front fascia that could double as an Orc weapon, the flanks with a pentathlete's balance of muscle and leanness, those Halo beam rifle taillights, and the mortar-launcher quad-pipes, this concept is the bee's knees. Acura calls the design language "Chicane," and this expression of it is everything a fan wants to see from the brand. The Double Apex Blue Pearl paint, forged carbon accents, and functional vents only make the sculpture better. We're promised two new Type S offerings in the next two years, an RDX Type S presumed to follow the TLX version. They can't come soon enough. We encourage you to check out the gallery and enjoy every angle of the preview for Acura's coming attractions.
Is the Acura Legend coming back?
Fri, May 24 2019Great news for fans of the Acura Legend: Honda has applied for a trademark in Europe for the word "Legend," pertaining to "Vehicles; Apparatus for locomotion by land; Apparatus for locomotion by air; Apparatus for locomotion by water; Parts and fittings for land vehicles; Parts and fittings for air and space vehicles; Parts and fittings for water vehicles." This trademark was first spotted by AutoGuide.com, and gives more credence to our speculation from a couple months ago about the possibility of the Legend nameplate returning to the Acura lineup in the States. If you were reading closely before, you'll notice that it was actually Honda that applied for the trademark, not Acura. The Legend was sold with a Honda badge on it in Europe back in the day, so this trademark filing in Europe makes perfect sense. In our previous report, we put forth the idea that Acura could bring the Legend name back with a successor to the RLX flagship sedan. Specifically, we were thinking that Acura would use the four-door coupe form previewed by the Acura Precision concept. That story also suggested a new Legend flagship could debut during Monterey Car Week. The 1986 Legend sedan was one of Acura's first two vehicles when the brand launched (the other being the Integra). It had a smooth 2.5-liter V6 that made all of 151 horsepower at the time. A sweet-looking coupe soon followed the sedan. The name Legend would be applied to a second-generation, which is arguably the one best-remembered. The coupe in particular has lived up to its name. Much of that legendary status, though, is the result of what followed: the Legend name and coupe body style dying for 1996 in favor of the RL, a four-door sedan as bland as its name. Acura's flagship has never recovered. We'll be quite pleased if Acura ultimately decides to reveal a totally new Legend to blow us away in Monterey. The return to actual names for the lineup would also be lovely. It's certainly working for Lincoln. Now if they'd only trademark "Integra" ...
Acura spotlights NSX pace car at Pikes Peak
Tue, Jul 14 2015You can't just have any old street car setting the pace at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, can you? Of course not. For that task, you'd need a supercar with exceptionally high performance capabilities. Something like the new Acura NSX, for example. Fortunately that's just what the organizers of the annual Race to the Clouds selected to serve as official pace car this year. Honda's new hybrid supercar, set to be built in Ohio, donned a unique livery, a senior PR rep behind the wheel, and a smattering of GoPro cameras to speed up the 14,110-foot mountain. Naturally the twin-turbo V6 engine, nine-speed, dual-clutch transmission, and three-motor Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system formed an integral part of the package as well, even if its output hasn't been officially released more specifically than the "over 550 horsepower" we've been told to expect. The Japanese automaker also placed another couple dozen cameras along the 12.4-mile route and its 156 turns. Which is a good thing, considering that most of us weren't there in Colorado to see it make its run up the mountain, and nobody was there at each corner as it passed – except, of course, for the driver, Sage Marie. The rest of us will want to check out the minute-long clip Acura has released to see the NSX gun for the sky.
