Yeah, you're right, I should have, cause I totally knew that my insurance company sent my written off car to auction months after they paid me out, and I totally knew that some random girl was bidding on it, and I totally knew that she was going to win the auction.

I always thought a car written off due to flooding was unable to be sold, I'm fairly certain if the car had warranty left that Volkswagen would be able to deny any claims.
My understanding when flooding occurs it is virtually impossible to tell if anything could go wrong until it does, if that makes sense. As Maverick said if the CAN bus has been affected that is one system you don't want screwing up without warning!
I think the new owner is about to learn an expensive lesson. :yikes:

Haha, that thought crossed my mind when I read johno's post. :23:
In those dodgy 2nd handy yards, cleaned up and sold I reckon.
I knew a bloke that got his relatively new 4wd a bit wet (salt water), hosed it out and went and traded it in the day after. He got a very nasty phone call a few weeks later from the dealer when rust just popped out everywhere.

The Dealer has no right to get pissed.. This is once incident, I wonder how many times the dealer has bent over a customer and raped them in the arse.

Damn...Its a case of buyer beware. It doesn't help though that the Auction yards are super sneaky. They are pretty dodgy, i.e. Amp up the price, move the car around on forklifts and dent the crap of it.
If the car was not started after the water lodgement, it will be ok.
It will take years for the wires to become corded, most probably last the life of the car.
Most of what Maverick said above is spot on.
Tell her to search for part numbers on google to save ALOT of money. e.g. 1k1XXXXXX into google, will spit out ebay and other sites which have them forsale.

In a world of privacy laws it's amazing that that practice is allowed really.
