"Flood" Damage Salvage 05 G500

Post#1 » Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:01 am

Found this near me in a Copart auction. 100k miles. The auction lists flood and the waterline shows to have been 2-3 inches up from the bottom of the door. What do you guys think? Change the fluids and keep driving?

Ha, ha!....flood damage in a G? .....“2-3 inches up from the bottom of the door...” things are just starting to get fun 8-) !!! Seriously, I would need to know the extent of the “flood damage”.

Funny, the marking on the rear door card has the water line closer to the seat bottoms height. I wouldn’t trust a thing they say on there. Have to see it in person

How is it with the breather valve on a G500 autobox. Could water trickle in?
