New Carfax Research Details How Many Waterlogged Wrecks Have Washed Up in Each State<\/strong> www.carfax.com\/press\/releases\/americans-driving-more-than-a-quarter-million-flood-damaged-cars<\/p>\n

CENTREVILLE, Va. (September 12, 2016) \u2013 Hundreds of thousands of previously flooded vehicles are believed to be in driveways, on the road or up for sale around the country right now, according to new research from Carfax. The data suggests that more than 271,000 cars reported as flood damaged by a state\u2019s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), insurance companies and more are back in use. It\u2019s a nearly 30% increase from 2013.<\/p>\n

While waterlogged wrecks have made their way to every state, these ten states have the most:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Texas \u2013 43,000<\/li>\n
  2. Pennsylvania \u2013 20,000<\/li>\n
  3. Florida \u2013 17,000<\/li>\n
  4. Kentucky \u2013 14,000<\/li>\n
  5. Illinois \u2013 13,000<\/li>\n
  6. South Carolina \u2013 11,000<\/li>\n
  7. Michigan \u2013 11,000<\/li>\n
  8. New Jersey \u2013 10,000<\/li>\n
  9. New York \u2013 9,000<\/li>\n
  10. Louisiana \u2013 9,000<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cFlooded cars are a buyer\u2019s worst nightmare,\u201d said Larry Gamache, communications director at Carfax. \u201cThey\u2019re ticking time bombs because when you least expect it, the electrical, mechanical or safety systems on these cars will fail, often without warning. Consumers everywhere need to be vigilant about checking a vehicle\u2019s history for flood damage and getting a pre-purchase inspection to avoid buying cars that rot from the inside out.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Increasingly powerful storms and historic flooding in major areas are creating more opportunities for professional con men to clean up and resell flooded vehicles. Demonstrations show that it takes only a few hours to restore them cosmetically, at a minimal cost to the criminals. However, buying one of these dangerous cars costs unsuspecting consumers thousands.<\/p>\n

    \u201cA customer was requesting a loan on a used car, so we ran a Carfax Report as part of our underwriting procedures,\u201d said Willie Macko, President of PriorityOne Bank in Mississippi. \u201cWe discovered that the car had been a total loss and the title was branded as a flood vehicle. By using Carfax, we were able to save both our bank and our customer a lot of money.\u201d<\/p>\n
