How to Identify if a Car Has Been in a Fire?

[MacAyla]

Techniques for identifying a fire-damaged car: 1. Visual Inspection: Check the exterior of the car, including the doors and front/rear fenders, for uneven paint surfaces or irregularities. Examine whether the paint on the car's surface is smooth and uniform, and check if there is any paint on the rubber seals. 2. Smell Test: Enter the car and check for any pungent or burnt odors, or an overpowering perfume scent. If the car has been in a fire, there will likely be residual burnt smells, and some owners may spray excessive perfume to mask it. 3. Interior Check: Inspect the interior, including the flooring, for signs of fire damage, and ensure the upholstery and paint are intact. 4. Firewall Examination: Look at the firewall for any signs of fire exposure or blackening.
