Read somewhere on a meteorology site that there is a chance for something similar but less severe some time in may. But it still very very early to tell for sure.
My car is mostly in the same exact situation. It is an 07 Corolla. I personally will leave it until all water around it subsides, then I will remove the air filter and sparkplugs and check for water in engine. Then I will check the engine and transmission oils for water intrusion. If the transmission has water in it I will shift it into neutral and take it to a shop via recovery.
Question - What's the reason to abandon the car? I saw many cars on the road today while walking. Everyone goes through flooded roads and stop on the side with double indicator, some wait and some switch it off and leave.
Futtaim pulled the same shit with me when I bought my 86 back in 2014. I think it's because the sales people make commissions off the extras they sell.
I have a base model 07 corolla middle eastern specs, it has seen the scortching sun of the middle east all its life and it doesn't have any window tints at all. The dash is beginning to dry crack and flake and the gauge cluster looks like a dried lake bed and one of the center console drawers has a broken hinge. I'd say the interior held up better than expected considering the circumstances.
One of the rods of the engine was busted and there were metal flakes in the oil. Repair place quoted $4400 for a full engine replacement. I had known about an oil leak for some time and I had topped it off before making the trip but that ended up not being the problem.

Brother, Allah tests those who he loves, be patient and strong.
FYI it was 142mm at Dubai Airport. It was more/less in other parts. Source :
I see what you did there...
USA buyers will check vin number to see if the car they are importing from UAE was flooded
This made me chuckle

Al Khan is completely sunken. Don't even think about it.
I’m at the airport now. It’s chaos. People are saying that it took them up to 10 hours just to get here in a taxi.
In a taxi? Ouch, I can't begin to imagine the fare.
I’ve seen pictures of taxi drivers sat on their cars with the water up to the windows
Can't blame them, my heart goes out to them, they just lost a day and possibly more of their income.
According to the news it hasn't rained like this in almost 75 years, way before the UAE even existed.

High water levels can completely destroy the engine, let alone cause electrical faults in the car.
Great so my boss won't be able to go to work tomorrow

It is very normal and nothing to worry about. It will go off when you drive the car and use the brakes.

Why do you regret ceramic coating?
I don't think it was what I actually wanted/needed. I wanted more of the benefits of PPF, which I got done later anyway.
Oh I get you, I think you can apply ceramic coating on top of PPF iirc
2004 Toyota Corolla XRS
Absolutely slept on car, 180hp in a light 9th gen corolla is going to be very zippy around town.
It’s a good car. Reliable. The interior could fall apart suddenly but it was a good everything car.

Fuel efficiency and emissions.
What car was it?
Consider a used Hyundai Veloster N, it's a very fun hot hatch.

4400$ for an engine replacement sounds very expensive. From where I cam from you could easily get a used one for under 500 bucks.
Only 24k? You got jipped on SL I usually make 30k in an average game why the hell they only give you 24k??
He got 61K, 24K from achievements only
The most logical thing you can do imo is getting a 2002-2006 I4 camry for 8-10k. You’ll save up money on gas and insurance.
Where can you find 2002-2006 Camry for that price? Genuine question cuz I'm in the market for one
Where did you take this photo?
My best feature is infinite canvas. This is difficult to find in other apps

2007 Hyundai Sonata with almost 300K miles
It also simulates liquid density, in colder maps you notice that you have more time in the fuel counter than in hot maps.
