It's the seats that would bother me. They look clean but the foam must still be pretty grim inside. Looks like new though. If we keep getting the wet summers might have to get used to it! :(

One of the indie dealers had a Gemballa 996 turbo in a similar state last year when SYNDies visited, was not sure whether it was a write off or not :shock:

I thought that the insurance companies would write the cars off if they had been flood damaged. I have seen quite a few on the salvage websites that have not looked anywhere near as bad as that one and they have been Cat B write offs to be stripped for spares.
One was an almost new A4 convertible with about 7000 miles on the clock. Would have cried if it had been mine.
