Super storm Sandy flooded parts of New York and New Jersey destroying thousands of vehicles. Not all were destroyed, however. There were a few that sustained only minor damage in the form of water on the floorboards and some were not damaged at all. As anyone who has driven in the winter knows, wet floorboards are not uncommon in cars. In fact, automobiles are engineered to withstand the effects from having water on the floorboards. The most important things to consider when looking at flood cars are: 1) How deep was the water? Did it rise above the floorboards and into the dashboard reaching the vehicle's sensitive electronics? If so, unless all of the electronics have been replaced, it should never see the road again. The cost of repair will surely send that car to the junkyard. 2) Assuming the water didn't rise above the floorboards into the dash, was the car allowed to dry out inside before the stench of stagnant water and mold and mildew began to grow? Often flood vehicles will sit weeks or even months while insurance companies work through the claims process and acquire a title in their name. If the windows are not rolled down to air out the car, the smell and mildew take over. At this point it's nearly impossible to remove the smell. 3) Can the seller tell you the depth of the water in the car? If not, stay away! Vehicles that have been water damaged will always have a water line indicating the depth of the water, similar to the ring you will find around the bath tub. This water line can sometimes be seen on the side of the vehicle. If not, check the door jambs and any area that will contain water such as pockets on the bottom of doors or the door pull that you grab to shut the door. Other areas to check would be behind trim panels, in the trunk, or in the motor or transmission. If water has entered the motor or transmission, it may have caused damage there and has likely reached the electronics in the dashboard, so stay away. The manufacturer will no longer warranty this vehicle, but for an additional amount you can buy a warranty. If you are interested in a warranty, please ask before you buy this vehicle. Ownership of this vehicle was transferred to me on a salvage certificate and the car underwent a DMV inspection, and I now have a clear Virginia title to transfer to the buyer. The clear title will carry the brand "water damaged," and will convey to the buyer the same rights of ownership as any non branded title. A sample of what the title will look like can be provided before purchase upon request. The brand is to protect consumers from being sold vehicles that have a damage history without their knowledge. It is never a good idea to make an expensive purchase without first looking at the product in person unless you are familiar with the seller. I recommend that anyone interested in purchasing this vehicle should come look at it in person. Customer's mechanics are welcome to inspect the vehicle and will have access to an automobile lift if desired. If however, you purchase it without seeing it in person, then inspect it at my place of business after the completion of the auction and find that it was misrepresented, I will refund any money received by me and cancel the sale. No returns will be accepted after customer takes delivery of the vehicle unless the customer purchases warranty coverage that provides for that. Please ask any question you have before the completion of the auction. After purchase of the vehicle I will require a deposit of 10% of the purchase price within 48 hours of the auction's end. Methods of payment for this transaction shall be escrow.com, wire transfer, or a cashier's check from a nationally recognized bank. THIS VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DRY WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND SHOWS NO SIGN OF EVER HAVING BEEN WET AT ALL INSIDE. I HAVE DONE ALL THE WORK NECESSARY AT THE DMV TO CONVERT THE SALVAGE TITLE TO A CLEAR TITLE. IT NOW HAS A CLEAR NON SALVAGE TITLE AND IS READY TO REGISTER AND DRIVE. THIS CAR HAS A BEAUTIFUL BLACK INTERIOR, BRAND NEW TIRES AND IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE, BUT IT DOES HAVE SOME MINOR IMPERFECTIONS. ABOVE THE LEFT REAR WHEEL THERE ARE SOME SMALL INDENTATIONS WHICH ARE DIFFICULT TO SEE UNLESS YOU LOOK AT THE CLOSE UP PHOTOS. ALSO, THE ARE SOME SCRATCHES WHICH CAN BE SEEN IN THE CLOSE UP PHOTOS. IF YOU WANT ADDITIONAL PHOTOS OF THE IMPERFECTIONS, DON'T HESITATE TO ASK.
So what am I selling? Brand new and used Hondas, Nissans, Toyotas, BMWs, and just about any other make. Some are floorboard floods in which water didn't rise into the dashboard and some did not get wet at all. I personally look at every one of the vehicles I buy and I have 28 years of experience in buying and selling vehicles such as these.

Acura TL gets its top chopped
Sat, 06 Jul 2013The roofless Acura TL you see above is a product of Newport Convertible Engineering. No stranger to taking the lids off of Acuras - and a bunch of other cars, like this Jaguar XJ and this Toyota FJ Cruiser - NCE says it was the first US coachbuilder to produce an Acura NSX convertible.
NCE says the conversion takes about six weeks to complete, comes with a five-year warranty from the supplier and doesn't void the original warranty from Acura. On top of that, the interior fitments like sun visors, trunk space and rear seat belts all remain unaltered. Customers who are absolutely against the B-pillar can have it removed, but NCE says "The vehicle will be designed differently without the center bar."
To our eyes the TL looks pretty all right without a roof, and with stripes. NCE will shortly be preparing convertible versions of the 2013 Range Rover Supercharged Autobiography, Porsche Cayenne and Cadillac XTS. For Acura owners, there's a press release below with information on NCE if you have a TL and an urge to go way beyond the sunroof.
2015 Acura TLX
Mon, 04 Aug 2014Immediately after landing at Washington's Dulles airport, an Acura representative handed me the keys to a 2014 TSX with fewer than 180 miles on its clock. The four-cylinder engine started and I pointed its signature beak towards a destination in Middleburg, VA. It was a curious move by the Japanese automaker, especially considering that I had flown no less than 2,300 miles to drive the discontinued vehicle's ostensible successor, the all-new 2015 Acura TLX.
Yet spending a solid 40 minutes with a sparkling-new version of the outgoing model that still smelled showroom fresh, allowed me an opportunity to scrutinize the dropped sedan and remind myself why it had never really blown me away - it was good at doing many things, but truly great at doing none.
Time with the TSX also started me thinking about the Acura TL, the second model that the TLX will effectively replace. I have better memories of the slightly larger sedan, especially the SH-AWD 6MT trim - it's a solid driver's car - but it, too, fell short in areas where competitors, including the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Cadillac ATS, Lexus IS and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, excelled.
Acura to roll out NSX Prototype for Mid-Ohio IndyCar race
Thu, 25 Jul 2013Acura will tease us yet again with its next-gen NSX when it makes an appearance at Mid-Ohio Raceway before the circuit's IndyCar race early next month. To be fair, the car's in-motion debut won't take the form of a production model - that's still a ways off - the vehicle will be a prototype. It'll be sporting custom graphics and an eye-catching paint (wrap?) job to draw the attention of the spectators, but really, we just want to hear this thing rounding the legendary road course at full chat.
The NSX prototype doesn't look to be much different from the various showcars we've seen over the last couple of years, with the same mid-engined, hybrid V6 power and all-wheel drive all present and accounted for.
The display will take place before the Honda Indy 200 IndyCar Series on August 4. The race itself starts at 3:00 pm and will be shown on NBC Sports Network.
