My son bought a nice 2010 Camry from a mechanic. When he got the Title, it listed the car as Flood Damaged.
I got the Car Fax for my son and saw that the Flood Damage Title was given to the First Buyer from the original Dealer. There was no further indication of any problems in the remaining Car Fax maintenance reports.
I had my son tell the mechanic and call the dealer. My son got no joy from talking to the dealer - no floods were recorded so, we could only speculate vis a vis open windows or some other such nonsense.
However, because of the Car Fax and because the mechanic is reputable, my son was offered his money back or to return the car and get the next best Camry the mechanic bought at auction or the mechanic would refund his profit of about $500.00 to my son if my son wanted to keep the car; plus the mechanic would keep in mind any repairs needed if the "flood damage" issue ever came up.
My son elected to keep the car.
Thank you Car Fax
