lol, I'd never consider using "invincible" and "subaru" in the same sentence unless its precluded by "nowhere near".

I'd give it a few months and watch it degrade, though I'm guessing it was fresh water it was in and not salt water.

Yeah using that as the title had the same effect as if I just wrote TITS or something. Still, bit of a longshot that it would work okay and only after minor tinkering.

if it's an ej22 i wouldn't be surprised.

Not the first car I've heard that has been submerged and ran ok, I believe NILPSI's car turn into a partial submarine at one point, but ran quite nicely after it was dried out.

So subarus only break if you drive them??

Dealt with heaps of wet cars through work.

Most of the damage is done by letting the car dry out slowly.
If it was completly submerged and then pulled out and sorted straight away,
I am not surprised that it went,
However I would not want to own it in 6 months time.

Most of the time when we get wet cars they have been in the river and then towed to somewhere where it sits wet for a week or two untouched while the Insurance co. sorts out what to do with it.

When we get them all the components in the ECU's are rusted off the boards etc etc,
something that doesn't start to happen until after it is pulled from the water.
