Look for rust or outside dirt in the engine compartment. It's a tell tale sign the car was under water. I live in a very flood-prone area and after a big flood they had a lot of ruined cars go back on the used market. Those lemons were even shipped out of country to be sold.
It would be at a dealership. They can power wash it away anyways. I wasn't as specific as I meant to be. Mold and discolored paint on the body part of the compartment is where it would show. It usually has a dirty faded look
