So we had a Prius get flooded by bay water up to the top of the tires a few months ago - the result, car was totaled. We ended up getting another 2006 with 23k less miles on it.

Also, make sure that you don't buy a Prius that has been flooded, all kinds of problems can develop from flood damage later in the vehicle's life.
