Type	Description
ACTUAL	The odometer reading is believed to be the true and actual mileage of the lot.
EXEMPT	By Federal Law, no odometer code is required to be displayed for this lot.
NOT ACTUAL	The odometer reading does not correctly reflect the mileage of the lot or it cannot be known.
EXCEEDS MECHANICAL LIMITS	The true mileage of the lot cannot be expressed because it has exceeded the capacity of the odometer to measure it.

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.

What It Means	Facts and Risks
Description	Fact: The auction reported fire on the exterior body of the vehicle. Fire affected outer panels, paint coating, plastic exterior elements. Causes: fire spread from engine compartment, arson, ignition from external source, impact with fuel tank ignition.
What to Check in Photos	Inspect exterior panels: • Soot marks, paint blackening, charring • Melting of plastic parts (bumpers, moldings, lights) • Glass damage from high temperature • Deformation of metal body panels • Condition of wheel arches, fenders Important: Fire from outside often penetrates inside through gaps, damaging hidden elements.
Hidden Risks	Structural Integrity: High temperature weakens body metal, especially in welded joint areas. Corrosion: Burned paint and damaged protective coating open the path to rapid corrosion. Wiring: Fire can damage electrical wiring in pillars, doors, trunk lid. Seals: Rubber door and glass seals are destroyed by temperature — risk of leaks.
Restoration Cost	Fact: Restoration requires replacement of damaged panels, complete repainting, replacement of plastic elements, seals. Risk: Sourcing original parts for old or rare models may be difficult. Quality: Non-original parts may differ in gaps and fit quality.
Expert Recommendations	✓ Assess damage scale: localized fire vs extensive — different scope of work. ✓ Check structure: if structural elements are affected — restoration becomes significantly more complex. ✗ Consider corrosion: even after repairs, burned areas are prone to rapid rusting. ⚠️ Odor: even exterior fire leaves a burning smell that penetrates the interior.

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.

Metric	Description
ACV (Actual Cash Value)	The estimated market value of the vehicle in the U.S. at the time it was written off by the insurance company. Use: Helps assess the real value of the car before damage.
ERC (Estimated Repair Cost)	The insurer's preliminary estimate of repair costs for the U.S. market. Use: A general indicator for budgeting restoration costs.

Kia for sale by model

Features Specs

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.
