Says the sunroof was left open and the ecu got wet? Must have been over an inch of water in the car! Still might be worth looking at if you can deal with with the title

Seriously? They would total a car because the floor got wet and the computer is fried? At the most, assuming all the floor mounted electronics are toast, and call the carpets have to be replaced, and repairs to the seats, etc is at tops stretching it is $20K - that is not in totaled range.

Sounds like a scam to me.

Cheers,

Mike

You'd be suprised at what the insurance companies write of as a total loss. Recently just saw a Turbo S 2011 with a mere burn in the back seat. Complete loss by the insurance company. let me see if I find the link..

^^Good Question, I guess you would have to really inspect the car and do some research on it's history. It's always better buying it from a member or so. But I know where you are coming from...

Don't think so, would just say where and when accident occurred.
