STICKERFAB Glad your insurance is going to total it. My parents have a house on Pine island. I was down there a week after the storm and the amount of flooded vehicles is crazy. The water got right to the door sill of there car. I am heading back down tomorrow to work on the house some more.i love that part of the state but it going to be a long time before it recovers. Best of luck I will be ordering some more products shortly.

So many people went through this with Harvey here in Houston 5 years ago. The car market then wasn't what it is now. I got lucky that my apartment at the time was not flooded, but I know a lot of other people who lost everything.

I assume having it on 10-12" ramps would have saved it from the water.
Or how about starting it up and driving it to another local?

That really stinks, but good that you are getting a replacement! Can I call dibs on your hard top?!

Naples and the Fort Myers/Sanibel area had not seen flooding anywhere near this since 1960 when hurricane Donna hit. Sometimes hurricanes do unexpected things that are hard to plan for. Our condo was built in 1968 and had never had water in the garage and from Ian we had 4.5 feet of water in our garage. The climatologists are now saying that the likelihood of this large of storm surge happens only once every 200-500 years in the Florida areas hit the hardest.

Ford Bronco Second Bronco totaled from Hurrican Ian.  What is fair market value: Answer. Screen Shot 2022-10-24 at 12.28.22 PM

How do trucks survive hood-deep dives but not 30" of flood?
We had 5 foot waves and 100+ mph winds along with the 7-9 foot storm surge. Homes that were built 50+ years ago that had never had water near them were knocked off their foundations. The boat still sitting on our beach as of this morning is from 40 miles north of us.

You must have missed the fact that the surrounding area had over 10ft of storm surge, SALT WATER! the trucks in this pic are in maybe 3ft of freshwater huge difference!

The projected path was from Pensacola to Fort Myers that covers the entire West coast of Florida, 3days before the storm hit. We had no idea where it was going.

Was going to say I have been in deeper water than that but then realized it was sitting in salt water for some time. Yeah, that cannot be good. Just look at any vehicle that pulls boats in and out of salt water for anly length of time. So sorry for the loss but I am really glad your insurance is not screwing you like the dealers did.

Here's what the Ian surge did to my golf clubs that were submerged in my garage for a day or so. We had 42 vehicles parked at our condo complex, all of them totaled.

We have two condos on Marco Island that we’re flooded with 14” of water. Our building is 50 years old and never been flooded. We’re basically forced to remodel two units, not the end of the world. A lot of folks lost everything.

Hopefully we will be taking delivery of another Bronco closer to the end of next month. So this works out okay for us. I'm grateful that it did. A lot of people didn't fair as well down here in SWFL =/.

Glad you, your family & neighbors are safe. I went through Andrew, it came ashore 2 miles from our house in Palmetto Bay. Luckily our area didn't flood from the storm surge, the house flooded from the roof damage and rain. I feel your pain! We spent 2+ years living in a single wide in the front yard while waiting to get the house repaired, yes I am really trailer trash 😜. Here's to breaking in that new Bronco that's on the way! 🍾
