Re: Sandy ... mom GAVE AWAY her damaged car :/ help analyze!

how much realistically would it cost to get it running to OK condition ?

At that point you'd basically be keeping the rear-view mirror and putting a new car on it. As others have said, every last system in that car would be untrustworthy and need to be rebuilt or replaced completely. Very few things inside of a modern car can withstand submersion without issues.
