What It Means	Facts and Risks
Description	Fact: The auction reported fire damage without specifying the exact location. This means there are traces of fire, melting, soot or thermal damage. Nature: the fire can be localized (limited area) or extensive, affecting multiple vehicle systems.
What to Check in Photos	Mandatory inspection: • Soot marks, melted plastic parts • Damage to wiring and electrical connectors • Condition of paint coating (bubbles, peeling) • Deformation of metal body elements • Under-hood space and undercarriage Important: Photos may not show hidden damage to wiring, insulation and rubber seals.
Hidden Risks	Electrical: High temperature damages wire insulation — risk of short circuits and re-ignition even after repairs. Structure: Thermal impact weakens metal, reduces strength of welded joints and structural elements. Odor: The smell of burning deeply penetrates upholstery, plastic and sound insulation — extremely difficult to completely eliminate. Fluids: Possible damage to fuel, oil and brake lines.
Title and Insurance Impact	Fact: Vehicles with fire damage often receive Salvage Title if the restoration cost exceeds the state threshold. Risk: Many insurance companies refuse comprehensive coverage for vehicles with fire history or set higher rates.
Expert Recommendations	✓ Request detailed photos: all areas of possible fire from different angles. ✓ Mandatory independent inspection: check wiring, fuel system, structural integrity. ✗ Do not buy without expert assessment: restoration after fire requires deep intervention, simple cosmetics are ineffective. ⚠️ Consider: even quality repairs do not guarantee absence of problems in the future.

What It Means	Facts and Risks
Description	Fact: The auction reported a fire inside the vehicle cabin. The fire source is localized in the passenger compartment. Causes: short circuit in cabin wiring, left combustible items, arson, heater malfunction or electronic device failure.
What to Check in Photos	Mandatory cabin inspection: • Soot marks on ceiling, pillars, door trim • Seat condition (melting, burns, charring) • Dashboard, center console damage • Melted trim elements, plastic parts • Floor mat, flooring condition • Glass damage (temperature cracks, soot) Important: Photos don't convey smell and don't show depth of soot penetration into foam.
Critical Risks	Cabin Wiring: Wire insulation damage creates risk of future short circuits, especially in hidden places (under dashboard, in pillars). Safety System: Fire can damage airbag sensors, seat belts — complete SRS system replacement required. Odor: Acrid burning smell from synthetic materials (upholstery, plastic, foam) is virtually impossible to completely eliminate — absorbed at molecular level. Toxic Residues: Plastic and synthetic combustion products may be released when cabin heats up in sun.
Restoration Cost	Fact: Complete cabin restoration requires replacement of all fabric and plastic elements, including sound insulation, carpeting, headliner, seats, dashboard. Risk: Partial repair is ineffective — odor and soot residues will appear from untreated areas.
Expert Recommendations	✗ Strongly not recommended for personal use: odor and toxic residues create discomfort and health risks. ✓ If buying for resale: consider complete interior replacement as mandatory. ⚠️ Check safety system: diagnostics and replacement of airbags, belts, sensors mandatory. ⚠️ Honesty in resale: hiding interior fire history is impossible — odor will reveal even years later.

Status	Facts and Risks
Intact (Intact)	Fact: Visually, airbag installation points (steering wheel, dashboard, trim) appear intact. No signs of deployment detected during external inspection. Risk: The inspector does not disassemble the interior. An airbag might be missing (cut out) or replaced with a dummy/resistor under an intact panel.
Deployed (Deployed)	Fact: Deployment of one or more airbags has been recorded. Risk: Carefully study interior photos to identify which specific airbags deployed (steering wheel, curtains, dash). We recommend making your own repair estimate based on visible damage.
Not Verified (Not Verified / Missing)	Fact: Inspector could not access the interior (vehicle locked/no keys) or airbags are dismantled. Risk: Maximum uncertainty. When budgeting, assume the worst-case scenario — complete absence of the safety system.

Type	Description & Risks
Insurance Company	The most reliable seller type. Vehicles are sold after an insurance claim payout. Usually sold "as is" — without hidden repairs or defect masking before being listed on the insurance auto auction.
Dealer (Reseller)	Sold by an intermediary. Warning: High risk of poor-quality pre-sale repairs (cosmetic cover-ups) to conceal actual damage. An independent inspection is mandatory.
Rental Company	Vehicles from rental fleets. Often repaired at the company's expense (Self-Insured) without being reported to databases. Risk: History reports may show "No Accidents" and a Clean Title, while hiding actual repairs. The price is higher, but the history may be incomplete. Inspection is required.
Not-Insurance (Bank / Private / Other)	Banks, leasing companies, or private parties (Dealer / Reseller). Damage history may not be obvious. A detailed check is recommended; we do not recommend buying without an inspection.

Rate	Coverage
1%	Covers total loss only during transportation. Any new damage that occurs in transit is not covered.
2.5%	Covers total loss and new damage that occurs from the moment the vehicle is accepted at the U.S. warehouse until it arrives at the port of discharge. Deductible: USD 200. Compensation is calculated based on the average market cost of repairs and replacement parts (new or used, depending on the most economically reasonable option). Official dealer pricing is not used.
