It doesn't take much of a fire to write off a car. I have seen cars with minor under-dash "fires" totalled because of the cost of replacing the wiring harness, accessories, and any piece of fabric in the interior because of smoke damage. No scorched paint, no damage to the dash itself. -- Mike -------------- Original message from "alex morgan" <mauibarber@xxxxxxxxxxx>: -------------- > It must have been some kind of fire to salvage the car.
