QUIK4A4 is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Flooded 99 Civic---totaled by INS.

Ok here is the scoop..... My car took water on the inside of the car(about3-4 inches. I ripped carpet out and sucked water out when I got home. My car ran for a good 6 miles before it died on me after I got out of water. I had a cold air with the bypass on it(not sure how much that helped) I'm not worried about the engine because I have a 2000 GSR fully built up I can put in now. So should I buy the car back from the insurance co? Or will I run into rust problems later on? I need two new seat, new back(bottom part of seat) and probably ECU.


Now for all the people that will say I should have been smart enough not to try to go through the water. Well I did not I was pushed into by another car that did not stop, so I had no choice. Please any info and help on buying back car, or building my civic back up pros and cons would be greatly appreciated.
