Say you buy a $50,000 car for $10,000. Have two guys work on it for a week, put it all back together and sell it for say $40-45,000-big money.

The key is to get a recent fresh water flood.
I'd personally never buy a flood restored vehicle, especially not for $40K+. There are way too many little things that can get missed, both mechanically and from a sanitization standpoint.... it only spells headaches down the road.
