Woman Says She Unknowingly Bought a Flood-Damaged Used Car

- Flooding from the historic storms that swept across the United States this year left both houses and cars underwater. One of those vehicles was caught up during Hurricane Ida in a South Orange, New Jersey, parking lot in September, and is now filled with smelly mold. But experts warn after every major flood, thousands of vehicles like this one are cleaned up and resold to unsuspecting buyers. Joyce Darden, 80, says it happened to her used car, which she bought from Enterprise Car Sales for $17,000.
She’d better get a full refund, be reimbursed or sue them.
Nah fr that's pretty sad they'd sell it yo her like that and at that age she's at a Risk
@@ricardorascon88 I wish they would have publicized the name of the salesmen/workers who sold it to her.
Edit: Misinterpretation of words
Buyer beware…
@@MrKim-kv2vv For real
They give her a brand new one
They'll buy it back and resell it again.
*Exactly and that's sickening.*
and not buy it back at what she paid for it, making her whole again.
Why can’t the shop deep clean the car,and have it repaired with brand new everything that has been damaged before reselling!
Because they running low on inventory lol they'll even use the micro chips from that car to build new cars
@@jan8919 it’s not even worth repairing yet they think it’s worth selling and screwing people over
This should be considered a fraud and guilty should be punished.
The problem is that if the damage was never reported and if you don’t inspect it before you buy it, it’s virtually impossible to prove that you didn’t do it yourself. All of these dealerships know this and that’s why they don’t care.
America is basically a third world country were corruption is just as high as in Mexico or other Karin American countries.
@@patoteto2 Says the guy that has never visited a 3rd world country.....
@@hatingontruth9118 fair but have you visited flint Michigan? Or western Montana to take a swim in the butte Montana lake…
She has the right to actually sue them for that. Got evidence and everything with her at all times.
Well the question will stand. Can they prove if the car company sold the car knowly that it was damage or had records that they didnt undisclosed.

*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Yes sure. Agree
@@minymeep1689 A good lawyer can do anything!
*I bet they offered to buy it back at 50% less than what she paid for it. This is disgusting. I'd sue them.*

They probably did. I would still take that deal thought cause mold can be really dangerous

Enterprise said “no sign of flood damage” that sounds very hard to believe. Horrible, I hope that poor women gets a new car.
They said there was no "record" of flood damage. Translation: yeah, we noticed that this car was in a flood, but since there was no record of it, it allowed us to legally sell it. If you were too dumb to not get the car inspected, YAH, WE WIN! Seriously though, the moral of this story is, if you're buying a used car, get it inspected!
Enterprise blame the old women for flooding its own car.
Or they could at least steam clean the engine and replace the carpets.
Enterprise should be investigated and should be ashamed.
my dad has used enterprise for years and we have had no issues! I dont know where this is at but it might be the location.
Edit: if u dont know enterprise is also a rental place
@@mandya.1234 sucks a few bad apples can ruin the whole batch.
Enterprise at that location inspected themselves and found no wrong doing

Poor woman, hopefully things end up okay for her.
I wonder how much she got paid to do this "interview".

I dont believe that enterprise had no idea it was a flood vehicle and she should sue them for fraud
There should be a law against this. Enterprise CLEARLY didn't do a thorough check if some random tester could spot that it was a water damaged vehicle within the span of an Inside Editon clip. We need new laws that hold companies and used car salesmen liable, just the fact that TOXIC mold could be a side effect is enough to warrant this.
They called Jimmy down the street to inspect it...
@@blackdiamonds853 Jimmy Knows his stuff!
@@ombra711 he knows all type of stuff and he's cheap
I feel so bad for her, She should have never been sold that car.
This should have went to copart/insurance auction. Some use it for parts. Others fix it
Buyer beware.
I do too (kinda) but when you're forking out almost $20,000...
you just might want to get a second opinion on what you're buying?? Even if it's close to brand new. That's what I do, EVERYTIME...
17,000? for that flood-damaged junk? And Enterprise (or any of these greedy corporations) will not accept any wrongdoing. She needs to sue them.
Ez lawsuit
No way that this older BMW series 3 is 17.000 dollars, you can get a 2018 model for that money so this story is sketchy
Poor lady, the person who sold her that car has no heart
This happened to my neighbor, when his son got extremely sick from mold in his car that he bought last year. So sick that he was hospitalized for 4 months. His family sued for $133,480.00 for hospital bills and pain and suffering. They won their case in court. I hope the son recovers.

@@uber1337hakz smart
Lmao Big Facts
Exactly!
absolutely disgraceful that they even put it for sale without checking to see if it was water damaged. hope she gets a refund and sues them.
Find a lawyer and file a lawsuit against Enterprise! They have to give you a new car and compensate you for your health! This should have never happened to anyone - unacceptable.
ALWAYS pull out the seatbelts as far as they can go. If you notice any dirt or sand, it's a flood car. Might help you later.
Thanks for that tip 👍
What if they clean the seat belt
Excellent tip.
I feel so bad for this lady. She deserves a brand new car.
Free. And a$17,000 dollar refund.
That’s a little extreme but they should give her all the money back and let her keep the car
@The odd ones Videos What is up with your grammar?
@The odd ones Videos *you're
@@axebeard7677 Extreme? Mold is extreme. Mold can completely destroy your immune system and cause irreversible damage to your body. To be honest 17,000 dollars isn't enough. Which is why they asked for it back. She sued sue to cover the cost of the car and medical damages and more. It's possible they weren't trying to sell her that, but they deal in selling cars, they should do real inspections, not just a car wash which apparently it already had a lifetime of those.
All the reports on my truck came back saying it's never been involved in an accident. The only thing Carfax said was the door hinge pin on the driver side was replaced twice. I reupholstered my driver side seat and found broken seat bracket and glass
Shameful
$17000 for that car? First of, she paid way too much for it. Second, if you’re gonna pay that much for a vehicle, get someone who knows a thing or two about cars and ask them to go with you. The scumbag car salesmen totally took advantage of this lady and should be sued for personal health damages as well.
It's a BMW that's why
I hope she sues Enterprise. Let them buy that death trap back AND pay her for tricking her, pain, suffering, inconvenience & all that jazz.
For what? She bought it, inspected it, and determined it was to her liking. Either way she sign a contract so she cant do much
@@libertyprime619 they shouldn’t have been selling that car at all. Common sense says a car in that condition shouldn’t be sold. It should be scrapped. Yes she bought it but obviously she didn’t think it would make her sick. Geezz
@@libertyprime619 SHE didn't inspect dummy; she trusted the multimillion-dollar company to have done that already. Its on THEM if they find out they in fact sold her a water damaged mold infested car.
Enterprise does need to get sued they said we had UNLIMITED miles we hit a deer with our van so we had their van for a month it need a oil change at the beginning we put 11.000 miles on my dad end up paying 600 dollars for how many miles were on it
That level of mold exposure is dangerous as hell, especially for a lady of her age! I would try to get a refund from Enterprise, because there is no way that flood-damaged moldy ass car is worth $17,000.....
That's legal grounds to sue them big-time
My husband used to work for a guy in Tucson AZ who would buy cars that had flood damage from other states. He would repair them and sell them to smaller car businesses. Hiding the fact they had damage. My husband didn't stay long with that company because it was so shady. No moral compass.
She can file an insurance claim, her vehicle might total. Due to safety concerns with electrical, airbags carpet seats, sand in the engine. Etc. I hope for the best outcome for this sweet lady. We need an update please.
That is just sad :( no one should go through this of course enterprise won't admit to any wrong doing
Look ♫ Look ♫ Look ♫ ✨ 😊
May the ducks heal you 💕🦆
How the hell is flood damage their fault? Also if it wasnt flood damage it still wouldnt be their fault because she signed a contract most likely saying she inspected it and was ok with the condition of the car, maybe she should've took it for a test drive or looked better
Enterprise should fully reimbursed her
@Extreme Lube and pay her a sum of money for endangering her life. She definitely needs a lawyer. Bet she could get some decent cash off of them
I personally wouldn’t recommend buying a used fleet car from any rental car company. There’s a reason why there’s a “discount” on the price of the cars as opposed to other retailers selling it
Happens all the time, and worse. Im shocked this actually blew up to a story. I wish the best for the lady
Doesn’t she know she can sue
Seriously?? She should do something about this
Some people don’t have money to start a lawsuit
Unfortunately, these companies/corporations have the $$$ to drag this in court for years knowing dang well every day people do not. This is usually why many don't bother.
Depends… if the dealership is but here no warranty she is completely screwed
How gullible , why pay something before investigating or checking it....smh
@@hwdareu5848 your not being serious right?
This is why it's so difficult trying to find a good deal on a vehicle when any made or model can just be refurbished and sold back on the market at a car dealership

@@P2Feener305 Buying a car without test driving and inspecting first is foolish
Always have someone inspect the car before you buy it.
@@flyingjew2994 Right
i had to rent a car from enterprise for work and shortly after driving it, the engine light came on and the engine started to rattle. I took back to enterprise and asked for a new car and got rejected even after there staff deemed it as unsafe.
terrible company and i feel awful for the woman.
ALWAYS have a car checked by a professional before you buy it!!! And the fact that they were willing to buy back the vehicle just goes to show that they're hiding something because if they didn't have anything to hide they wouldn't have been okay with a refund
Boycott Enterprise.... that’s ridiculous! From such a company they should be ashamed! They must have insurance and could have scrapped it.
Been saying this since 2017
This woman deserves every dime back that she paid for that lemon.
Yep. And then she should go buy another lemon with it.
Plus any clinic fees
That moldy lemon 🤢😷🍋
Seems to run just fine.
She bought a car tho
I feel so bad for the poor lady. She didn’t deserve that at all. And now her health is declining. They need to be sued !
I agree. I feel awful for her. However suing Enterprise isn't as easy as it sounds. Maybe this ERAC store that sold this junk to her has mercy and a conscience and settles fairly. Or, unfortunately, their lawyers tie this suit up in the legal system and drag it out for years. Yes, that happens often, sadly.
That’s sad and they’re always targeting our elderly people. SMH
She’s 80? Damn, she looks great.
I thought she was more like 65. She must have good genes. There is a photo of a Mother with her twin daughters and they looked like triplets despite Mom being 19 years older than her.
She should sue them! How could you do that to someone…especially an 80 year old woman.
"And in minutes he found proof of mold and water damage"
**shows neon orange rust in the interior**
You would think people would inspect a major purchase 🤔🤷♂️
Thank you for the video 👍🏼
That’s insane. Shouldn’t they inspect every vehicle they sell? Is that not a thing? Seemed like something pretty simple and easy to spot for someone who knew something about inspecting vehicles, or even a simple mechanic would know the signs? Like what? I can’t see how Enterprise could get out of responsibility for this.
Or CARFAX
Yeah, mold should be part of the inspection! What in the hell!
Didn't she inspect it herself?

Same thing happened to me. Purchased a “brand new” car directly from the dealer. Happened to go on the website and the exact car they sold me was on “special” (luckily the vin number was in the photo so I was able to tell). I could tell it had been flooded Bc all the windows were down in the picture as if they were airing it out. The rug in the trunk was also curling. They claimed nothing was wrong with it, but switched it out to a different one.
I wish I could buy her a new car 😔 poor woman, that’s so awful. We’re all just trying to make it
Honestly!!!
Ah yes, buy her something that loses half of its value the second you drive it off the lot!

@@HilbertXVI so if someone makes $30,000 a year, and they buy a $20,000 thats losing value every day.. rent, water food, gas, electricity, insurance, kids maybe, medicine, yea people should be taking the bus for $50 a month
The title of the vehicle should be branded as flood damage. Same is true with frame damage, salvage, etc. CFPB guidelines prohibit non-disclosure of branded titles & she should get an attorney.
It happens a lot!
They probably did disclose it and the old lady didn't know what that meant.
Easy to wash (meaning: remove) the flood designation from a vehicle title. Many states, mostly down south, will re-title a purchased car with no mention anywhere of flood damage. Then they have a local shop clean up the car; maybe even replace certain tell-tale components such as carpets, then send the car to auction, where local corner-lot used car sales pick it up and put it on their lot as a "clean" car. Maybe they know it's now-hidden history, or maybe not.
Although it doesn’t catch every wrecked or flooded car, getting a carfax report for me is a must before I’ll even consider buying a used vehicle. Some body shops will take a car that had airbags deployed, repair the body damage but not replace the airbags without disclosing it. Buyer beware, if you don’t know what to look for then find someone that does, your money ahead if they find something wrong with the car. Any reputable car dealer or individual will allow you to take it to a mechanic.
That's really disappointing that something like this can happen at a reputable place. It's not like Enterprise is a fly by night company.
This is why you should always take extra precautions before buying a car, look at EVERYTHING before making an agreement to purchasing a vehicle.
Bad thing is these places take advantage of females knowing MOST females don’t know what to look for. This is one reason I always have tried to take my dad or a knowledgeable male friend to make sure I don’t get a POS.

It surprises me how little people know about cars. Like seriously, did she not bother checking the frame or under the dash? I thought this was common knowledge.
I almost bought a flood damaged porsche 2 years ago. Looked great and had a perfectly clean carfax report. Everything seemed fine with it except it was somewhat underpriced for being so new and few miles and it had this strong funky mildew-type odor inside the cabin. All the carpets were completely covered in plastic and the dealer said the smell and plastic was from them just thoroughly cleaning it. I concluded it was too good to be true and that the car had obviously been flooded and it had not been reported to carfax and they were lying to me. I walked away immediately. And this dishonesty was from a freakin porsche dealership!
A big well-established company like that has the funds to buy it back from her and take the problem off of her hands
Same thing happened to me.
My parents bought me a gorgeous shiny Metallic Ruby Red Lexus Grand Sport 350 series for my graduation gift.
A year later, the frame and suspension was corroding.
Apparently, the once beautiful car was salt water submerged in Hurricane Harvey....
And it was title wiped.
We sold it for parts to a Lexus parts warehouse, for half of what we paid, and never looked back.
Best decision I have ever made.
It was a gorgeous death trap.
Poor woman wtf!! Give her money back. How do you not check all that before selling it
They did check and knew but covered it up to make money

So enterprise is not willing to take accountability by saying they were not “aware” but yet offer to inspect and buy it back? FOH!!!
My family had to move due to mold toxicity in our old house! It’s no joke! I’ve had terrible headaches since we moved there when I was 8 and since we moved this summer they’ve gotten better
Thank you inside edition for constantly calling out shady people/deals and providing stories like this for consumers. VERY helpful to know these things
Enterprise will “Inspect the car, and buy it back” 😂. They should proly do a lot more than that! 🤦🏻♂️
Looks like they never inspected it in the first place or they had a stupid or irreputable inspector which is most likely the case. They know what they're doing. They knew of the flood damage before they even bought it from the seller.
Disgusting!! I wonder how these people sleep at night, selling damaged vehicles to unsuspecting customers.
They have to live with a conscience knowing that they’ve sold a flood ridden car that should never have been sold
Man that drink is a legend still looking good until now
That’s mc donalds for you
Fell between the cracks because a salvage title can't be sold only certified rebuilt and that wouldn't pass the inspectors. so Enterprise is lazy or shady to sell this and for $17,000.
Enterprise is trash in the first place. Would not recommend buying any vehicles from them.
@@agarcia8800 I didn't know you could buy from them i thought they only rented

@@agarcia8800 Yeah never buy a used rental car because people rag the hell out them one would be better getting one from Copart auction. way better deal too sometimes its only light hail damage that almost impossible to tell. because color hides it and the car has under 30k miles I seen almost new cars go for half blue book because a few light dings.
I’m surprised she hasn’t gotten more sick than she already has with that much mold. God bless her, whoever did this has their own karma cooking.
There should be a float mechanism similar to the Tip 'n Tell used on the side of machines during transport.
This would float and stay at the top after being flooded.

As someone who used to detail cars at a used car lot (not enterprise, small shady lot in a bad part of my town), this is surprisingly common.
The lot I worked out strictly bought cheap auction cars and the lot mechanic would fix them on the lot to where they could roll off the lot and drive nice.
I can't tell you how many moldy cars I detailed. Be careful where you buy from.
Wow very expensive, very sad someone would sell an old lady a car that’s sooo expensive. I hope someone gets her help

Time for her to sue Enterprise. They need to give her a new car or end up paying her for pain and suffering. They stand by the sale is the wrong response. That's a public relations nightmare and a poor testament to the Corporate leadership at Enterprise.
That’s insane for Enterprise to do that! She better sue them for all they got!
Enterprise knew exactly what they were doing. I did a vin check and my car came out clean. I GOOGLED my vin number and I saw the bumper on the ground in a parking lot. I had no idea you could google a vin number and learn more. Anyway I do love my mini cooper and a bumper is a minor problem. She looks wonderful for eighty...really great. I hope I look that good and am still driving.
So nobody told her buying retired rental cars or cars traded in on old rental cars is the first rule of car buying.
You just don't do it
Maybe a good condition used car for $1,700 but NOT for $17,000!
all she needs to do is start a go fund me . i’m sure people would donate .
Doesn’t surprise me that a rental car company would sell a car like this.
I am so sorry
"Storms that swept across the USA this year"

Enterprise will also report a car stolen while renting it to you at the same time!
That's Hertz. Different rental company
I’ll sue them
Period that lady didn’t have to go threw that talking about it was no water damage when it was sold and they stand by that
They would just buy the car back after making this lady ill and sick
I’ll sue them unprofessional at it’s finest
I hope she sue them. My mom was living in building with mild and she told them about it but they did nothing, a few months later she was still there and she now has had a seizure whiles driving on the highway and have heart problems now, she also sue them by the way.
Please carry that car back and get a refund or sue these people.
Alot of money for a car and then all that damage. Definetly feel bad for her. Give it back to seller and hopefully they will give her enough for another car not so expensive. Her health is more important than continuing to drive the car.
So they didn’t inspect the car before selling it? Smh
Thank you inside!!! 👍👍👍
Interprise...
I will never use
You're services now!
Seriously shameful you knew 💯it
was in flooding conditions and you
have sold more just like that one!!!
There needs to be a recall...
And a lawsuit against you...
Nice watch! Wow gorgeous
This happened to me. I bought a car from a dealership last year. It was a 2001 Chevy impala. It only had 64,000 miles on it which was why I wanted it. I should’ve wondered why it was so old with so little miles. After about seven different repairs on the car, one mechanic let me know that my radiator was about to fall out because the whole bottom of my car was rusted out.He let me know that where I got the car from was probably a hurricane Sandy car because it was on the south shore where all the flooding took place. I don’t even know if the dealership knew this or not but I am the one that has to deal with the aftermath of it. I have since junked that car
Happened to Me Also 😳
First mistake was buying a Chevy. Spend a thousand or so more and get a Carolla
17 thousand!! That is criminal!!! 😠
This happened to me. I don't know how the dealership was able to get it to the sales floor, but they did. My tell-tale sign was extensive engine trouble; a busted air-conditioner, after what i thought was a maintenance repair; the car radio picks up AM channels only; some of the console lights flicker; finally, a small puddle of water, on the driver's side, and within a few days, the water had swelled to the seats, almost. The dealer, as well as the certified-mechanics, who performed extensive (expensive) work on my car, could have had the decency to let me know what I was dealing with, to make an informed, decision about keeping that car or buying another one.
I only put-out good, because I want good to come back to me. My conscience would bother me, if I knowingly, misled someone. Sadly, some people's moral compass, leans a different way.
I have had this car for over five years, and I intend to have it for at least another five years.
Incidentally, the dealer wants me to now, put the repairs they performed, under warranty. Their unscrupulous, deception, won't allow me to contact them to inquire about what that even means (I want to call them out, but I digress).
Wow that's unbelievable
Why that McDonald's drink still be looking good tho
There really should be a law to protect people.
There's a dealer here in the PNW that does the same thing, called Northwest Motorsports. They buy flood vehicles from the Gulf, do an interior detail, throw on some giant tires and 3-6in lift and sell the vehicle right in line with market price - that way people see how "built up" it is for such a good price and immediately buy it, only for gremlins or mold to start appearing after a couple weeks.
That is absolutely unacceptable. Sue them to oblivion!
I had a company try to sell me a flood car once. Luckily I didn't buy it. I instead bought a small SUV that was older and in better condition. Plus I paid a lot less for the SUV.
That woman looks great for 80! My grandma is 84 and she looks 100.
I hope she doesn't read this comment LOL
She has the right.There's a law protecting buyers .
Yes lemon car law. She should be suing.
She’s back!
