Water is the one thing a modern car can't shrug off. Once it gets past the floor, it soaks the wiring, the computers, the seats and the carpet. Mold starts within days. Electrical problems show up for months. That's why insurers usually call a flooded car a total loss and why most mechanics won't touch one.
Even so, the car still has value. The engine and transmission often survive, the body panels, wheels and catalytic converter are fine, and the metal itself is worth money. That value goes into your offer. It's why we buy flood-damaged cars instead of charging you to haul them away.
Tell us the year, make, model and how high the water got. We'll give you a real offer and free towing. Call 800-219-4551 or complete our online form to get your offer.
If water reached the seats, assume the electronics are affected even if the car starts today.
Flood repairs add up fast because the damage is spread through the whole car. Typical shop prices in 2026:
| Repair | Typical cost | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Interior tear-out, dry-out and mold treatment | $1,500–$4,000 | Still no guarantee the smell is gone |
| Wiring harness and control modules | $2,000–$6,000+ | Problems can keep appearing for months |
| Engine or transmission water damage | $3,000–$8,000+ | Usually more than the car is worth |
Prices are national averages from repair-cost guides and vary by how deep the water got and how long it sat. Your offer from us is always free and never depends on these numbers.
Three things set the price. How wet it got matters less than you'd think.
Every car is worth at least its scrap metal. A midsize sedan is about $280–$345 right now; a full-size SUV about $475–$590. The offer starts there.
Engines, transmissions, wheels, body panels and catalytic converters usually survive a flood and can add to your offer.
Newer and popular models are usually worth more in parts because more people need them. A common model that doesn't run can beat a rare one that does.
Not all vehicles are worth a lot when sold as a junk or non-running car. Prices also depend on demand for parts, so some vehicles bring more than others, even older ones.
Three steps. Most pickups happen within a day or two.
Year, make, model, and how high the water got. "Up to the seats and it won't start" is plenty.
All of our offers are guaranteed as long as the vehicle matches the information you provided.
We pick it up from your driveway, the shop, or the lot, and pay you before it leaves.
Yes. We buy flood-damaged and water-damaged cars every day, whether they start or not and whether the title is clean, salvage or flood-branded.
It depends on the year, model, and what still works. Call or complete our online form to get your offer.
No. You don't have to clean, dry or repair anything for us to buy the vehicle. We buy it as is, and towing is free.
Yes, as long as the car is still yours. If the insurer took the title in the settlement, the car belongs to them. If they let you keep it, we can buy it.
Yes, having the title makes selling your car quick and easy. If it's lost, the rules depend on your state and its DMV. In some states we can still buy with your ID and registration. See our state-by-state title guides for yours. Not sure? Give us a call and we'll walk you through it.
Yes. Towing is always included and nothing comes out of your payment. As long as the car is accessible and our tow truck can reach it, we can pick it up. We can't pull from parking structures or spots a tow truck can't get into.
Free towing, a real offer, and payment on the spot. Wet or dry, running or not.
