Can anyone shed some light on these cars. Anything to watch out for?

If these are US cars, is there a way to tell what type of accidents the car has been in.

Thank you in advance.

US cars can be real tricky....currently you need to worry about flooded cars coming in from the US flooding of the south. I have already heard of a few high end cars coming here bmws, benzs, that meet standards but were flooded cars. As was already stated "Run forest run"

That's all there is to know.... RUN !!

The only way to restore a "Flood" car is to buy a new one...Every inch of wire and all electrical components would need to be replaced. Obviously this is more expensive than a new car... That's why Insurance companies automatically "Write-Off" Flood cars.

Flood damage may not be as easy to detect as "Collision" damage and I doubt you'd be interested in either.

The biggest reason is for liability concerns for airbag deployment. If the harness is compromised their is no guarantee they airbags will function properly. As such car is written off.
