So yesterday we got hit with some heavy rain my car was parked outside, did not expect this at all... I had water a few inches above the bottom of my doors. My headlights were blinking sporadically until my battery died. I was able to get into it this morning and the carpet is soaked. The car is an 09 Base with 45k on the odometer.

I am wondering what the general consensus is with insurance claims?? Will they attempt to repair the car or total it? I have a claim opened but have not heard from them as of yet.

It is totaled, flood damage

Not so fast...since was only in floor and not into dash area with all the electronics, they may just fix. Without being there and the insurance co. he has, it could go either way. I agree that I would want totaled, but we don't always get what we want. Good luck and keep us posted.

If the water got into the electronics on the passenger side floorboard/firewall, it will most likely be totaled.

I am hoping they total it.

I believe that it's totaled!

If the word FLOOD or WATER damage appears on the CARFAX, the car is toast as a resell.

Which is exactly what will happen if they try to put a band-aid on it and pass it back to me.

Quickly pour some water on the electronics inside and out. Problem solved.

It gets better, under the hood you will find an A&A kit, meth injection, and kooks LT headers.....

unless that is listed and covered it may have to disappear before they take it away

You may want to rethink that! Insurance won't pay you enough to replace the car exactly as is.

I understand that, but this game just isn't enjoyable to me any more. This car has been my daily for 2 years and its been a headache every step of the way.

Totaled. Saw it happen in Ocean City Md a couple of times, and all the Vettes were totaled. Could be because of the salt water, but now it's considered a "flood car" and it will show up on Car Fax if you go to sell it. Shame really.
