If I were you, I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole!
I have no direct experience (yet) with any Mercedes EQ cars. I have been reading on this site and MBWorld extensively for the past few months because I have an EQE SUV on order. One common theme I've noticed is that the EQ cars are essentially computers on wheels. They seem to have many unexpected and bizarre errors, which can occur soon after driving the car off the dealer's lot. Most dealers are not yet up to speed on troubleshooting the technology problems and cars can wind up sitting at dealerships for weeks to months while investigations and communications with Stuttgart are ongoing. At times, I wonder whether I really did the right thing by ordering an EQE SUV. Haven't cancelled it yet, though. Just crossing my fingers.
Anyway, my point is that these cars are FULL of technology challenges when the are freshly delivered. If you buy one that's been flooded, I suspect it's going to be in the vehicle's record and that the default response from any dealer where you might try to get service is that "it" (i.e. whatever issue) is occurring due to the flood. Not sure if any components would be covered by warranty for a vehicle that has been "wet". Even if the answer is yes, I can only envision protracted discussions about whether "it" (i.e. whatever issue) is flood-related or not. I think you would be investing in the potential for a pile of headaches and frustration.
