Ok is there a free version of Car Fax as we just found a cheap Audi A8L W12 but we need to know if it was flooded or not and dont want to pay car fax as the only info is the flood info
OP, are you trying to buy from a private seller? If so, why not ask the seller?
Many dealers have Carfax or similar vehicle record available online at no cost.
I've been doing a lot of used car search and so far I haven't spent single penny and I've seen plenty Carfax reports.
Carfax also has a used-car site (links to partner dealers): https://www.carfax.com/cars-for-sale

Come on!.......that V12 Audi is going to be an expensive car to own yet you won't spend $20 on a carfax?
Odd how a cell phone is chock o' block full of water detection stickers to indicate damage but nothing in automobiles
Guess it doesn't work well for the used car business model of ripping off the customer at every opportunity.
This is a very good point. I suspect no one ever thought of it because it was not that big a problem until recently. Now it is likely to become a huge problem. Maybe they will require this soon.
Sniff the seats deeply. Submerged seats can't be rid of the smell completely for a long time if ever, without being replaced.
I suggest sniffing underneath the seats. Don't want to start sniffing seats in used cars. Probably all kinds of slimy effluvia on the seat part of the seat. Besides, water does nto need to get all the wat to the seat of the seat to make the car a bad idea;
Peel back the edge of door gaskets.
Turn on AC and or heat on HIGH. Sniff the vents . Mold or a new car sweet smell ? Run away.
