That's what it looked like in our area. I would put money on the fact that there will be a whole lot full of flood salvage vehicles. I don't see the insurance company taking a huge hit like that. I hope to be proven wrong.

The Super Duties in the foreground will probably be ok, with the possible exception on the first one in the middle of the picture.

As for the Explorers and the smaller cars on there, probably not.

Still, as long as you know about it, and there is full disclosure, I would not hesitate to buy a Ford truck that's been thru that.

They will all get salvage titles and sold at auction as usual. The dealership probably has some pretty good insurance for things like this you'd be crazy to think otherwise. Look on co part you see vehicles like this all the time. The insurance makes as much money back as they can selling the vehicles. What the buyer decides to do after, parts, repair & retitle is up to them. I know they say never to buy flood vehicles but i would. These are brand new sure, they will probably need to have the frame repainted but if pa is anything like ct there are vehicles with much worse frames on the road.

Parting out .... Great idea, I have been waiting 2 weeks for a DEF reductant pump. I'm going to tell my dealer where he can find a couple of them.

I'm not sure what Ford Motor Company's policy is but I would not be surprised to find out they get sold at an auction for the fly-by-night dealers to clean up and sell.
