Wasn't exactly sure where to put this but my 06 TL 6MT flooded this weekend and I'm pretty sure the insurance will total it out. I'm trying to figure out if its worth buying back and if I do buy it back how hard would it be to get running again.

 

I wouldn't... You'll likely have electrical problems from here on end.

 

That is kinda what i thought as well. If I did try id never expect it to be the same, just something to drive until i bought something else. Im 99% positive the ECU is fried and id need another. Or i guess i could just part it out

 

The wonderful thing about buying a car that was flooded/had extensive repairs is that every time the smallest thing goes wrong you're thinking "it's because of the flood!". You don't trust the car at all anymore and it just removes the fun from owning it from there on.

Pass for me.

 

how did it get flooded?

 

Yea i would never expect it to be the same, if i do attempt id just gut it and try to have it just functioning on a very basic level. Its just going to be hard to let go

 

It was parked on the street and the street flooded. The water was over the headlights and up to the glovebox inside

 

yeahh, let insurance total it out. Dont buy it back

 

p.s thats 2 solid straight weekends that it rained more than 4 inches in H-town.....

i'm getting real tired of El Nino's shit


if my car ever gets flooded, i'm taking that check and buying a car that will be able to tiptoe in floods

 

Nevermind I should have read your location - I remember hearing about the flooding in Texas a few weeks back.

 

it flooded this weekend, here in houston.

crossing fingers that we're done with rain, but the sky isnt sunny.

 

Yea that's what im leaning towards. And yea this rain is annoying. I just happened to be parked in a terrible spot

 

Here are some Pics of it Dead Acura - Album on Imgur

 

holy fuck.

did you at least go trick or treating?


which part of town are you on?
I'm in the southwest and it wasnt that bad

 

This was near Montrose, I just happened to pick a horrible spot to park. It happened the first time at 3am Sat and then again at 9am. The road filled up that fast in less than an hour, then drained in less than an hour

 

yeah, in sugar land, we must have gotten 3-4 inches in a matter of 30 mins at 9am.

again, sorry to see her like that.. Hope insurance takes care of you...speaking of which, who insures you?

 

USAA. They are pretty good at taking care of me, I unfortunately have to use them more often than id like

 

As long as your ECU doesn't look like it was found in the titanic like this one I bought you should be good.

condition A my ass

 

*cue Pirates of the Caribbean theme song*

 

Its gotta be bad, the electronics were freaking out. And the ECU definitely got submerged, more than once

 

i wouldnt trust anything in that car!! the whole car is submerged. yikes!

 

Sorry to see that. Unfortunately she looks to be a goner. Even if it were cleaned up etc, it will likely have issues down the road

 

the weather forecast says we're in for another rainy weekend, starting on thursday.
