That is a shame- hope your house is okay. I have two vehicles but I wonder what I would do if I had one vehicle that got totaled. Nothing decent on the lots- I guess I would buy the least worst overpriced car on Craigslist and limp along till I get something better.

So sad to see that! I wish I had my Mav to get out of our apartment complex this morning, they had a part of the road closed to fix a storm drain and scraped my Hyundai Sonata on the curb trying to drive around it.
I saw a upside down Superbird yesterday on the news, Evin if it was a replica would have been a huge loss. Too bad they dont sandbag Daytona speedway and invite all the cool cars of Florida in there for hurricanes. The high banks should be high enough.

Sorry about that. I would be devastated.
I suppose it would be smart for those of us shopping for mavericks to be wary of ones with Florida CARFAX histories showing up on the used market—I suspect we will start seeing a lot of vehicles that have been dried out and sold off at auto auctions.
I almost bought a Lexus CT years ago with a perfectly clean CARFAX. I was suspicious as to why such a low mileage car from NY wound up at an auto auction, then shipped to the Midwest. Turns out it was likely involved in Superstorm Sandy based on the service history and where the car was located on specific dates, and when service records mysteriously were absent in the history. But CARFAX was still spotless. Do your homework.

I'm not sure how high the water level got, but the OP's pictures show the interior of his Mav flooded at least 0.5" to 1". I'm not sure what critical components would be subject to prolonged submersion, but none of it can be good. Besides, it was brand new, now its definitely not.

Water level looks about engine level. Sorry ...hope the rest of your stuff is ok

Or the old Ron White joke: "it's not that the wind it blowing; it's what the wind is blowing."
Putting a bunch of cars in Daytona on the track to protect them won't work real well when the grandstands are rolling onto the track.

I'm a little South of you. It's not much yet. I think we'll get worse this evening. I'm at the top of a hill, so no risk of flooding, but bottom of my driveway already flooded a couple inches. Not unusual here. Bottom of drive a good 30' lower than the top though.
