What's a flooded (water flooded) but running FD go for?

Anyone know what a flooded (as in sat in lots of water) FD would go for? I've never bought a flooded car before, let alone an FD that has ridiculous electrical issues without being flooded.

flooded cars are no fun!!!! Trust me I am living in a city where you can buy a 2005 250z for 2g's because no one wants to deal with a flooded car. If it was a old school big block or something that had little to no electric components I would say go for it, but def not a FD. Just my .02 though.

goodluck,

Flooded cars are a pain in the *** and a waste of money. Not if your gonna put it on a track tho, but if you intend to drive it on the streets, you will have to get it repaired by pre-approved electronic specialists to make it legal. They claim that the water damage in the sensors and the connections could be a hazard since they could make the abs and the airbag system cause failure on the road. I wouldnt even bother if I was you.

I would price it like I was parting it out for the body panels, frame/shell, and suspension components.
