There are flood cars, and then there are "flood" cars. If it "runs and drives", then you are looking at a possible mechanic or owner screw up car. Top left down in rain? Control box under drivers seat can short out and go crazy breaking top linkages, ripping wires that go from ABS to left rear sensor, damaging top operating gear boxes etc, before the box itself blows up. I know this from experience. Being able to rebuild these items "in house" I saved a couple thousand $$. Bought 2006 Boxster base for approx $5,000 all in. About $500 in required parts, some used. Drove 4,000 miles before selling at a profit. If looking an insurance site, they often have a dozen pictures, one may show the W/L (waterline). If it runs and drives, all the dash lights are functioning correctly, and you know a little bit about mechanical, go for it. Just be able to back up your enthusiasm with ability.
