What affects a fire-damage salvage quote?

• Extent of structural and chassis damage - deep frame or engine bay burns lower salvage value significantly.
• Electrics and ECU condition - fires often damage wiring and modules, which are costly to replace.
• Age, make and model - parts demand and scrap value differ by vehicle type and market interest.

Experience-based expectations for South Africa

In South Africa the salvage market varies by region and vehicle demand. As an estimate, fire-related damage commonly reduces open-market value significantly; salvage offers depend on parts recoverability, local demand and vehicle age. These are illustrative ranges and actual fire-damage auto salvage quotes will be specific to each vehicle.
