I didn't think about flood damage but I am trying to avoid any cars from the north east

I am turning my VW in and getting about $14200 for it - I am wanting a Subaru BRZ or Scion FR-S. Ideally I want to buy one in cash with out spending too much more.

They seem to running between 16 and 20 for low mileage used ones with the salvage ones in the 10 to 12 range.

I know about checking to make sure they are put back together right and would likely take it to a Subaru shop or a well regarded body shop to have them check the work as well.

What I was mostly looking for was "the insurance company won't like it" while I intend to pay cash and don't intend to part with it for a very long time it is nice to know some one may not be able to get a loan on it.

And as noted I didn't think about flood damage cars so I need to really look for north east and south east cars (to be wary of)

My family tends to hang onto cars for a long while

I have had my 911 for 22 years, my First VW for 11 years (died in a head on) my wife drove her first Subaru for 14 years (just bought her a new one)

This current VW will be the shortest I have ever driven a car and that is going on 7 years
