Water, water, everywhere
 

This is where I parked yesterday:

It happened in the morning, all the outside water had drained by the time I got to it after work. Parked on a slight incline, the back seats were damp and a couple inches of water was in the front driver's side. Did not try to start it, had it towed.

The insurance adjuster is going to take a look this morning, and the tower said be prepared for them to total it. But the mechanic thinks no water entered the engine compartment and he's only concerned about some of the electronics.

Where did that much water come from so suddenly? That would suck so badly!

DC had the equivalent of one month's rain in one hour yesterday.

That sucks. I'm in NoVa too. I checked my car as soon as I got home. Thankfully the drains by my car were able to keep up with the rain.

UGH!

Maybe, just maybe, if it is allowed to dry out, it will be OK. - :iono:

That sucks man. Personally, I'd rather it was totaled.

Uh, yeah. Dirty water = totaled. Even if it runs fine, it's gonna be a moldy mess.

Sorry that sucks soooo bad!!!!!!

I used to by cars at auction. I bought a flood car only ONE time; it was a huge PITA!!!!

Yep. That would do it!

general rule of thumb is if the water line touches the bottom of the seat they total it, safe to say its a gonner.

The base here is if a "significant" amount of water enters the passenger compartment. It is of course left up to the adjusters to define what "significant" means.

Sorry, most likely totaled.

Maybe the mechanic isn't concerned but he isn't assuming liability for repairs that will include safety-related sensors like those determining airbag rate of inflation.

Pull out the seatbelt and if you see a water line anywhere on the belt, it's toast.

Looks like something didn't 'suck' but burped!! Grease balls blocking drains, a real thing in the UK. Victorian drains can't cope..
