We have had to be very careful on the cars we insure to make sure they are not salvaged cars from Katrina. We get notices all the time on what to look for when inspecting vehicles.

Each flood car there needs to be sawed in half and then sold at auction for parts only. That would hopefully ensure the cars would not be resold and put on the road.

In Cortland, NY. Their is a small dealership that 'imports' cars from Florida and sells them up here. Makes me wonder what condition these cars are in. Other than salt free.
