FLOOD DAMAGED AUTOMOBILES
I heard that some automobile dealers have been going into
the areas flooded by Hurricane Agnes and buying up damaged
cars. Then, they fix them up so they look good and sell them as
new undamaged cars. What can we do to make sure we don’t get
stuck with one of these?
That could turn into quite
a problem. Georgia Consumer
Services has checked with
officials in several states that
were flooded, and they
confirm that some unethical
dealers are buying flood
damaged autos at extremely
low prices, refurbishing them
and passing them on to
unsuspecting buyers. It is
estimated that from 60 to 65
thousand such cars were for
sale in Pennsylvania alone.
According to a reputable
Atlanta dealer, here’s what
happens. If flooding is high
enough, water gets into the
differential and the
transmission. If the water is
thoroughly drained out and
the distributor replaced, the
car would be O.K. But, and
it’s a big but, this process is
expensive, and sellers out for a
quick buck don’t bother to do
it. They just put in new
carpeting, take out any dents,
polish the car up and sell it.
The car will probably run for
about three months before it
clunks out. Further, even a
mechanic can’t tell if the
motor is alright just by
looking at it; the damage is all
internal.
How To Tell
Pheron 0. Turner, director
of the State Motor Vehicle
Unit, told GCS that so far
there are no reports of any of
these cars coming into
Georgia, but with so many
involved we are bound to get
our share in the next few
months.
If you’re buying a car, be
on the alert. All new cars are
supposed to have a “certificate
of origin.” (That’s what you
turn in to the state to get your
tag.) This certificate shows the
place where the car was
originally shipped. If you’re
buying a used car, the seller
must have the title of the
previous owner. (A legal

document proving ownership
and transfer of title.) This will
also show where the car came
from. If the certificate of
origin or the title of previous
owner name one of the flood
states check the following
points:
• Pull out the back seat and
check for water stains.
• Check the inside of the
glove compartment for signs
of rust at the seams.
• Look under the floor
covering and trunk lining for
water marks.
• Check any place that might
have been ignored when the
car was being fixed up for
signs of rust or stains.
• Be very cautious if the
seller asks you to sign an
agreement that says you are
buying the car “as is.” This is
a legal term that means
something is wrong with
whatever you are buying, that
you accept the merchandise
anyway and will not go back
on the seller for repairs or
replacements.
Finally, always trade with a
reputable dealer who is known
for standing by his guarantee.
Talk with friends, neighbors
and people you work with to
find out who’s satisfied and
who got a lemon. Pick several
dealers that sound good to
you and check them out with
the Better Business Bureau,
Chamber of Commerce and
Georgia Consumer Services.
Don’t buy from the first
dealer you go to. Talk to
several and compare prices and
guarantees before making up
your mind.

Honorable James H. "Sloppy" Floyd
P.O. Box 521
Trion, Georgia 30753
Dear Mr. Floyd:
This is a busy time for you, but I would like to take a minute of your
time to personally thank you for what you have done for our state in
the fight against drug abuse.
A lot of Officials and private citizens are concerned about the drug
problem, some have tried to do something about it, but in my opinion
you have done more than any other person in Georgia to combat drug
abuse since the problem began three years ago.
When We came to you in January 1970 the drug problem was beginning
to spread like wildfire in every state. Georgia had only five agents
to cope with the drug problem in the streets and keep tabs on over
100,000 people handling drugs in their daily legitimate employment.
Federal Agents were being pulled from Georgia and other states to
concentrate on drugs and narcotics being smuggled into the U.S.
You saw to it that my department and the G. 8.1. got more men to combat
illegal drug traffic and to carry out an educational program for the
young people. As I recall, you also made it plain that you wanted
results, and as they say, "you naturally work a little harder with
Representative Sloppy Floyd looking over your shoulder."
We appreciate that too, everyone likes to feel he is accomplishing
something worthwhile. We did try harder, arresting more than 1200
that year, eliminating a number of major pushers. Gradually we have
closed the gap in Georgia.
The Drug Problem is no longer spreading, and if we can keep the pressure
on, it will decrease steadily from now on. The Federal People are doing
their job reducing the flow of drugs into this country, but it will
still be up to us to handle the problem in Georgia. At a National
Conference recently I got the impression that we have made much more
progress than most other states.
We will always have crime and a drug problem, but thanks to you I think
we have the men and material to keep it to a minimum.
As an enforcement officer and a Parent, I appreciate all the time and
help you are giving in fighting the Drug Problem in Georgia. I don't
see how you find time to do all that you do, but it is encouraging
to know that we have someone to turn to when we have a serious problem.
You have a difficult and thankless job, but I am sure there are a lot
of people like me who appreciate what you are doing to hold the line
on taxes and still get the job done.
Sincerely yours,
GEORGIA STATE BOARD OF PHARMACY
