yes, but I dont want to be too specific.
hint, inside car = look at the lowest point which may have indication of water & not just moisture.
I sold a car right after the famous flood recently, buyer wall unreeling my seatbelt....i told him, if he knows to check this, means anyone serious in hiding flood damage would already cleaned it.
Seatbelt trick wont be feasible nowadays, people can just change aftermarket or get a used 1 from half-cut shop. hint, inside car = look at the lowest point which may have indication of water & not just moisture.

The best is still get a mechanic to help verify, check wiring area like fuse box or ECU got any watermark or repair before, jack up check chassis got any excessive rust or mud in hidden area like inner door/power window/side fender area.
If the previous owner really did a great restoring job, you cant even detect. My mechanic did help few to restore and the easiest and fastest way is to buy the exact same car half-cut and transfer all the wiring, seats, carpets, door over 1 to 1 exchange.
