Is it safe to buy a car in NYC? weren't the dealers' lots flooded? what about private garages? how can you spot a flooded vehicle that was dried up, cleaned up and put up for sale?

Sovereign MB lost most of their cars bc they park stock near a canal, BMW in Manhattan is too far from water but I dont know where they store their stock. As I recall BMW NYC is not a franchise and is a factory owned location - I would tend to trust them not to sell flooded cars as new. I would probably trust any factory or franchised dealer to be honest about that. They all have insurance and they have very little upside with a pissed off customer and lemon buy backs in the future...
I wouldnt buy a used car (especially an older one that may have not had full coverage) from anyone who lives close to short in the tristate area in the near future.
