I've got a chance to pick up an 05 ES 330 with 35k miles for $21k from a dealer but after looking at a Carfax report, I see that the car is from Louisiana and had been when Katrina struck in 2005. The Carfax is clean but that still doesn't convince me. It's really sharp and has no odor or other telltale signs of flood damage, but I've been reading so many horror stories of people getting scammed when they unknowingly bought a Katrina flooded car that I'm leery of buying it. I kind of live in Hooterville and finding a Lexus like this is extremely difficult unless I'm willing to drive a couple hours to a larger city. What do you guys think?
