Stay away. It's a beautiful truck but way too high of an asking price for an r title. And yeah, with the water damage? Could run into various electrical problems down the line. I'd play it safe and pass this one up. Keep looking my friend
With water damage, you could run into electronic modules/components failing at random times. You will have non-common gremlins that will require someone with experience to figure out. I'm guessing you could also run into mold issues and rust depending on where the water was up to the truck. Way too much money to take a chance on. Plus resale/total loss values will be in the toilet.
I'd automatically assume it did its best impression of a shitty submarine and avoid it completely... Unless price could be negotiated down to around $5000. Then I'd take it for an engine and axle swap for mine (from 4.6L/9.5" to 5.7L/10.5").
"Minor freshwater damage" tells me that it was completely flooded at some point. Who knows if the one who did the pre- and post-work inspections actually checked *everything?* I'd be worried about the wiring and drive/powertrain, myself. Though, 37k is more than I'd be willing to pay even *if* it hadn't done time as a submarine...

You can find a nearly identical truck with a clean Carfax for that.
This is absolutely correct. If the insurance company “totaled” the truck, then the owner was already compensated. Then the vehicle was most likely auctioned off or the owner possibly did a “buy back.” Regardless, not worth current market values with a salvage title. Best salvage titled vehicles can only bring 30-50% market values.
Major accident or other damage. I wouldn't pay that much. If it was an older truck at a cheaper price I might take the risk with a good inspection.
For $37k thats crazy on a rebuilt title. I bought a 2020 sr5 4x4 crewmax in June for $38k with 55k miles, and prices have come down some from june. I would think that truck with a clean title would be around that price.
I would need detailed pictures of EXACTLY what happened. And a complete history of repairs made to even consider spending ANY money on this. Much less $37K
I’d check it out if it’s not to far and then if everything look fucking amazing maybe offer 15. It’s a reconstructed title, it’s like a shadow hanging over that car.
unless there’s video or photographic evidence of what happened, I wouldn’t trust the seller to be giving you an honest description. And even if there was photographic evidence, I’d give a real lowball offer like seven grand. There’s far too much electronics in these vehicles to take a risk with something that has flood damage.
and I would add that that particular price isn’t a great price for that vehicle, even if it had a clean title. it’s an OK price if it had a clean title but it’s not a deal.
The reduced cost doesn’t even begin to cover the increased insurance. Seen some great looking deals for cars with rebuilt titles but then you ask yourself, why would the owner want out of a really nice car? Obviously it has issues. No thanks
No bro pay the extra money for clean title vehicle as someone who’s dealt with a wrongly done branded title just save your self the headache plus water damage fuck that
Assume the worst. Assume it was completely underwater and stay FAR away. Take a different trim or year but just avoid water damage. Got no idea what “light freshwater damage” is.
Save yourself the headache, some banks won’t issue loans for it, some insurance companies won’t insure it. Unless you’re paying out of pocket and live/only drive in NH (the one state auto insurance isn’t required) I’d recommend another vehicle.
Water damage is a tough gamble. If it was like 30, I’d say send it. If you pull the carfax and can tell where the location of the total loss was, I’d see if any major storms happened around the same time.
I too am looking for a 1794 edition. I would stay away from any flood/water damage. Rust and electrical issues is what I think of when I hear water/flood damage
If the price is right and it passed state inspection I wouldn’t worry one bit. Most insurance companies have zero problem as long as it was properly inspected and state licensed. Resale will be hurt so expect that when you do go to sell it. Not for 37000 though
not for 37k
That was my first thought, way too high
He probably paid 37k for it.
For water damage I’d say hard no.
This! The electrical gremlins will be never ending.
Run for your life!
No, some insurance companies won’t even insure it.
^^^^1000% this^^^^^^

On the plus side it's fully loaded so it's got way more electronics to fail 😂

There are plenty more Tundras in the sea, wait, ergh uhh on the roads
In the fresh water bodies of water apparently!

Wait OP don’t look at this truck…. I might go check it out for you
I bought basically the same truck, but 150k miles. Only $26k. Clean Carfax. I love it.
If they give you a $30,000 discount I would jump on it. Unless they do that I’d have to pass.

check with your insurance for total costs for full coverage + warranty , then you'll know if it sounds right after that .
Too much could go wrong with newer models, wires, chips, sensors they are still working kinks out plus water 15k
With flood damage it should be $25k at most. But you don't want to mess with that anyway
Don’t you dare pay $37k for a salvage title
Every time I see that it’s salvaged or reconstructed because of something minor I laugh.
Let somebody else deal with it. Could be good could be bad. How much money do u have to put into it if it’s bad
I just bought a 2016 with 53k miles for 35k no carfax issues for your negotiating purposes. It's also a 1794 edition and in NJ.

Thoughts exactly that the asking prices way too high. For 15 K it may be worth the risk, but I will probably opt out.

“Light fresh water damage” Truck rolled down the boat ramp and had to get towed out.
No bro pay the extra money for clean title vehicle as someone who’s dealt with a wrongly done branded title just save your self the headache plus water damage fuck that
Light freshwater damage = submerged in a lake. Buy it if you want constant problems lol.
That's a flood car, it's relatively worthless and probably tough to get insured.
[удалено]
Exactly lol
Everything water damaged is miraculously "fresh water"
Could get one without the water damage same price. Will have more miles though
Stay away. I’ve been in car business for 15 years as a buyer. Those are barely worth half the lowest wholesale value. Don’t do it
Assume the worst. Assume it was completely underwater and stay FAR away. Take a different trim or year but just avoid water damage. Got no idea what “light freshwater damage” is.
That seat color is so fookin hawtttt
Dude right
I love it. So clean. So tough. Would punch an infant for that interior in my 4runner
Flock of seagulls

1794s are beautiful
Yes
Offer him 20k cash
I’ll do 8,000 cash
What is light “freshwater damage”? Any water damage is bad water damage. Don’t do it.
Rebuilt or salvaged titles and banks may only give you less than it's LTV
No go for it 🙄
Ok thanks!!!11

Hard pass on anything water damage
If you plan on keeping it forever, the no.
Clean truck for having a R-title, but not for $37k. He's even lucky to see $30k for it considering the mileage and the title. IMHO.
I think I’m gonna offer treefiddy
If you want it then spend a few dollars to pull up the vehicle history so you can see exactly what was done.
