dont give up just yet..  my dad actually bought a '91 Acura Legend a few 
years back at a substantial discount from a rebuilders that had been a flood 
car, (freshwater) w/ water up to the bottom of the strg wheel.  only needed a 
new computer, and radio, and a thorough drying and cleaning. we have put over 
50k on it, and its still running fine..
