2013 Countryman S Advice?

Just purchased a 2013 Countryman S, 4 wheel drive from an insurance auction with a "non repairable" flood title, good news is that I replaced the battery and carpet
car is in excellent condition, 9-9.5 interior and exterior, all mechanically appears good other than TPMS light.
Car drives awesome but when trying to title I was informed the car was not to be driven on streets in Texas.

I need to sell the car, looking for someone than knows about these type titles or for race car, parts car, ranch car, export, other State titling, etc...…..












Thank You in advance!

That is one beautiful car. Thinking the state is concerned with electrical gremlins that can pop up as oxidation from the water submersion takes it toll.

Thank You for the reply,
The water line was 1-1.5" above the bottom of the door, that is why it is in the condition it's in.
I tried calling the insurance company to change it from "non repairable" to salvage but they wouldn't go for it.

I have no problems with these type cars if they were barely wet and or repaired properly, I have been daily driving a 2015 Suburban for almost a year w. zero issues
same thing, replaced carpet, battery and a detail and just like new

Thank You for the info, the rebuild is not needed, car is great!
I just need to find someone that knows how to title it or someone who could use it "off road" for something

KBB "Dealer trade-in" value with this mileage and my options is $12,975
I have $6,915 in the car and repairs

I suggested contacting MiniToBe because he probably knows something about titling flood damaged cars, not for rebuilding purposes.
