I was thinking the same thing. There should not be a problem insuring a flooded car as long as it is a salvage and not a junk title. Would there be any benefit in submerging the car in freshwater? I'm sure it has been too long already but that is what you do to an outboard if it goes in the salt water.

Salt water flooding is the worst case scenario. Salt corrodes all wiring and all electronic components. There is no way to stop the process.

There is no way any insurer would take the possible risk (especially in a modern car with airbags, ABS, etc) of a malfunction that could cause an injury/death. For example, after Sandy thay had hundreds of the flooded cars' airbags self-initiating from the electronics slowly corroding.
