Well, trying to buy a house so I am going to sell the ole MM soon. Just a little background on it and have a few questions. There's only one "issue" with it and I am always an honest person and would never look to "shaft" anyone. The car was my mothers and most of its mileage was from travelling from Long Island to upstate NY on the highway. During Hurricane Sandy (boom, lol) the car was at my house. My driveway is on an incline and the water where I live really wasnt that bad, especially since my property inclines slightly. We lost a leased car since it was parked in the street. The water only got to about 5-6" against the front of my house and around the Marauder. Two days later the car was taken and cleaned and underside powerwashed. When the insurance guy came, he inquired if the MM was here during the storm, we said it was. He looked at the car and went over the whole thing. We had no interest in totalling the MM since it had "no damage", just water that barely was 6" around and nothing inside the car (I have pics showing water line on house and car) He highly recommended making a claim on the car since salt water did touch it and we'd have nothing but problems and that he will call back with a value after they look into it. Well the value was too much for my mother to pass up and she made a claim. Needless to say, I didnt want to get rid of it and looked into a buyback and wound up doing so but keeping it in under her name. The car has a clear title as of now, but once the title is transferred I believe it will have a notation stating flood damage. The car is in the absolute same condition now as it was prior to all this. I still drive it and it runs and drives 100%. Its only issue are the usual 10 year old MM stuff.
Sorry for the long story, but just wondering what is fair/what I could actually sell this car for (it book values around 10,700 (77k)). I know it has that black cloud over it now, even with what I stated and the pics I have to show the car and water line. Even I would be weary. Also, if anyone has any knowledge on the title situation.
Thanks!
