Kees 581 Report post Posted February 7, 2023 Thought I would make a thread to display some of the more interesting flooded cars that have/will be coming through the insurance auctions over the next few weeks. Pretty devastating how badly some of them got flooded. NZ New, Z4 Coupe: GTE Mk7 Golf: 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just shows how a completely flooded car can look normal, thus the risk of buying flood damaged cars. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m5/listing/3992303914?rsqid=9c27dca5372c475d9df90f35fe22d6dd-002 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vass 702 Report post Posted March 2, 2023 8 hours ago, Kees said: Yeah saw those two, absolute bummer. I know the previous owner of the Alpina, he's pretty bummed, was a very well taken care of car and only sold it a few months ago. Looks to have been well submerged, looks a total loss. Wonder what money the M3 might go for and what of it is salvageable. Could be a good project. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harper 465 Report post Posted March 2, 2023 That M3 is pretty sad too. ~100K km, 2005, factory manual. Nice spec too. Very nice car. Definitely going to be some interest in it even if it's just for parts. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sad to loose one of the better examples from our roads. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably just set for scrap. Good it’s been disclosed they were flooded. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
