On my way home from work, I drove through some standing water. Localized flooding. I got the limping engine alarm and the car stalled. It started back up, but in limp mode. I pulled over and let it idle a bit before trying to continue. The engine was sputtering but eventually smoothed out. The light remained on; however. I suppose I should take it to the dealer, but I would imagine it'll fine after it dries out.

 

It is probably done for, you should unload it cheaply on the first person to respond to your post here.

 

Says the moocher..lmao..
sounds like some electronics got wet.....

 

Well, the insurance company totaled it out. My GP is no more.

 

damn man...so sorry...

 

I picked out a 2014 Coupe yesterday. Fun drive but I'll have start a list of parts to kick it up a notch.

 

jcw or S?

 

I went for the S. Funds are a factor.

 

GL will watch the progress

 

That sucks man. Can I has leather dash? JK.

 

The insurance company towed it away the very day that they declared it totaled.

 

Somebody is going to revive that car and make a buck on it. Bummer.

 

Yep. Would've been a good candidate for an engine build.

 

What caused all the damage water ingestion??

 

How was the insurance valuation? I am wondering as there really isn't a NADA or KBB value on these cars. Did you just do comparisons for other cars for sale online? I am half thinking my insurance company thinks my GP is just a JCW, and Chase thought the purchase price was 125% of the value, based on their estimates.
