Yep, that one is going through Pickles Auctions.

It's listed as "fresh water immersion" under damage details.

There's a good leather interior under there somewhere, I wonder what condition it's in after sitting under all that for a while?? I'd be interested to hear what it goes for if anyone finds out.

If they took out the interior protection warranty, does that still stand? (insert sarcasm)

im sure theres lots of parts that are perfectly fine after a wash. add them all up and it might be a good profit for whoever sells em off.

Looked like a p***ed off fella who owns a Jim's mowing franchise took out his frustrations on the missus who scored the car in a settlement.

Imagine the look on peoples faces if you take it down to your local car wash and tell the bloke; "yeah inside and out too mate, and do a good job because last time the vacuum missed a few spots."
Actually, it's not just the water immersion you have to worry about, all of that dirt is probably inside alot of switches, modules, cylinders etc and you would spend months pulling everything apart and cleaning it. What a waste.
