Had flash floods in NOLA and apparently the took water in on the passenger side. Noticed it today when I went for a drive. Car ran just fine but has a terrible smell and water pooled inside the footwell. What do you think the best option going forward. Water level was higher than what the picture shows and about as high as the start of the glove box. Should I try to see if it will be totaled or clean it out. I have 08 Fsi 128K and no working AC.

What wires run under the passenger seat that would or could be ruined. Do you think it will be totaled if the car runs but no new check engine lights or airbag lights.
