[QUOTE="Dale Carter, post: 590298, member: 59785"] ANY used vehicle should be carfaxed, regardless of location. We were seeing Katrina vehicles hit the market in SoCal as early as October. If an insurance claim was paid, it will be there. A thorough cleaning will prevent detection by visual inspection. Saltwater causes almost immediate rust on every piece of ferrous metal on the car and even causes aluminum to corrode. Freshwater, often in large numbers from hurricanes, is harder to detect and most numerous. Also, if "Boodro" bought a few gallons of Simple Green and cleaned the truck thoroughly before he traded it in, no such luck with vehicle histories. Used car departments taking trades and dealers buying at auction get snookered all the time by unscrupulous people like this. They also can pass cars along with knowing it. [/QUOTE]
