MTX J30 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I bought this 01 suburban with 130k miles on it to my mechanic the other day that i was supposed to buy. It is the LT model and its really clean but i brought it to my mechanic to make sure. It was $7000 but im buying it from my friend's mechanic so they lowered the price to $6000 for me. I liked it and it ran good but i brought it to my mechanic to be precautionary. He said i should not buy it because there is alot of mud under the car and it goes really high up into the engine bay. He said it could have possibly been in a flood, but the engine seemed to run fine. If i carfax it, and there is not history of flood damage should i buy it or avoid this car. If you think this is a bad car i found another suburban with 160k miles. Is that too many Quote Once or twice I have missed having a back seat / rear hatch, but all in all people love to see a walled vehcile. It just screams "i'm not fucking around with my setup, im loud" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etaks_crew Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I've got mud all in my engine bay. But thats from off-roading. How do the carpets look like towards the bottom are there any stains that look like possible water damage on the inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyne151 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Look up under the driver side of the dash... you'll be able to tell if it was in a flood. There will be water marks and dried up dirty spots everywhere.

Loudcav Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 the mud is probably from offroading check the carfax and see if its had flood damage reported and as stated Id check inside the car to truely see if its been in a flood also if the car is too clean that could be a sign that it was flood damaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
