Burn Damage — Copart & IAAI Auction Prices
Burn damage is typically a total fire loss where the vehicle structure, interior, and major components have been severely compromised by fire. Burn vehicles generally sell for scrap or parts value only. Unlike engine-compartment-only fire damage, burn vehicles rarely have viable drivetrain components. They are primarily attractive to dismantlers and salvage recyclers.
