Buying used in Miami?
Why Miami buyers need to check first
About half of vehicles flooded in major hurricanes return to the stream of commerce, often after being title-washed through states like Louisiana, Oklahoma, or Pennsylvania and shipped back to Florida lots with a clean-looking title. Hurricane Ian alone potentially damaged up to 358,000 vehicles on top of roughly 400,000 flood cars Carfax already tracked on US roads in 2022. Salt air in coastal Miami then accelerates corrosion on anything the flood touched.

What to check on the listing
- Pull back the carpet at the driver's footwell — water lines, silt, or rust on the seat-mount bolts mean the car sat in water.
- Sniff the trunk and under the rear seat — mildew survives a detail and tells the truth.
- Headlights and taillights have condensation droplets inside the lens — water got in and the housing never dried.
- Title shows a transfer through Louisiana, Oklahoma, or Pennsylvania after a major Gulf storm — those are documented title-washing destinations.
Why an EstimateProof report catches it
NMVTIS carries flood and salvage brands across state lines, so a Florida flood car laundered through Louisiana still shows the history. EstimateProof reads the full title chain so the brand can't hide.
