springs under the passenger seats for rust, they're not coated for rust protection.

The worst part of this video is that people will sell theses cars here and may say salvaged title ( here where I live people just assume the vehicle was in a accident but the air bags did not go off ) and the car was flooded and runs for like a week then all the electronics start to go haywire. Got to love scammers.

First to comment today. This Arizona desert has a lot of flood damaged vehicles. Especially at these local neighborhood dealers. Phoenix, to me, turned into nothing but car lots. It's scary to find out too late if your vehicle is flood damaged.

Question is…how would the wheels show signs of flood damage? Don’t wheels get wet anyways?

I bought a car and noticed while vacuuming under the front seats the metal is all rusted ...the paint chipped off the seat mount brackets and then when I turned to vacuum by the peddles the paint is all chipped off the break and rusty and then on a small electronic under the dash is rusted ...not sure my dealer is going help me ?

Buy new or hold off for awhile, they are going to ship these flooded cars up North so fast it will make your head spin.
