Hello everyone, I am a 62 year old female. I said that to say this.....I don't know much about cars, however, I do know I love my 2004 s-type Jag. Unfortunately for me I drove it through 4 feet of water in my own subdivision last weekend. a undeveloped street without lighting or drainage system. Can't even talk about that! Anyway, the insurance company is telling me they pull the engine plugs, drained and put new oil in and it runs like a new one. Bottom line they will not total it. I can't tell you how this scares me. they are saying that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the electrical system. I have been reading some of the threads re: flooding and it appears things can go wrong down the road because of the flooding. I love my car and it only has 70,000 miles . Still, I don't want problems. Not sure I have any recourse as to whether I have to accept the deal they are offering. What I am looking for here is advice or maybe a good argument I can take back to the insurance company. They are telling me if I have problems down the road they will accept responsibility if it is related. I'm not sure I trust that. Help if you have wisdom in this area!
Thank you so much in advance,
Annette

<p>Annette - what part of SC are you in? &nbsp;Not sure how this may work but in accidents, the repair facility can go back to the insurance company for additional funds if the initial estimate is insufficient. &nbsp;I would imagine in this case, it would follow similar actions, but I would make sure it is in writing to be safe.</p>
