I doubt a cigarette could cause a whole interior to catch on fire i think something else had to of gone wrong.

 

Damn dude! Did you rub someone the wrong way? or rubbed the wrong one?

 

Proof by lack of imagination.

 

It can. First hand experience.

 

Lemme get this right...
you've been trying to sell this car since June after employment concerns
you have been unable to sell it
it bursts into flames, unattended
in a parking lot that you know to have no cameras
there are no witnesses
you were in the area at the time of the fire
...and your only question is 'will the insurance company total it?'

I can tell you what this looks like...and I really hope you didn't do what it looks like you did.

 

(all of the "this just got real" posts combined and then deleted)

 

Ha i knew someone was going to say it. Ill admit i got pretty worried back in june after a lost a high paying job... but it was nothing a little planning and budgeting couldn't fix and now i still make more then enough to pay my payments. And if i was going to do that believe me id make sure it was totaled. I work two jobs one of which i run my own drafting and design business that i started with a friend from college(Mechanical Engineer major if u must know). So i appreciate the incredibly rude and disrespectful comment. But i was inside working (where there was cameras) for about 4 hrs before it all happened. But hey the cops have it under control but your more then welcome to come do your own investigating. And of course i had other question but known of them you could answer. My only question was for ppl here was... Would replacing the interior total it?.... Because id love to keep the car but seriously who wants a burnt up car? No mechanic shop can duplicate Mitsubishi's work. Any other questions?

 

We still have your name penciled in under 'master criminal' column. Sorry once it's there it's really tough to move.

 

Gotta be good at something i guess.

 

You really won't know until you have the damage assessed. It also depends on your insurance, some don't total a vehicle until the damage exceeds the current blue book value. Can we possibly get some pics?

 

Oh wow, did he really burn the car down himself and now panicking and trying to find a reason that a car can auto-ignite to give to the questioning insurance company?? lol

 

Panicking? Lol the insurance has already ruled arson. The fire department found a cig (I don't smoke). The whole car didn't burn down just a small fire that stared in passenger side floor board. I ain't worried about crap. I just posted the question here because I'm impatient and wanted to see what ppl thought. Geico likes to take there time.

 

I lock my doors when it is parked in a locked garage.

How much did you owe on it? If you don't mind me asking...

 

Lol every body trying to play captain investigator y'all killin me haha...

Maybe this will help with your investigations.. My first job I work as am ASM at a store (for now till my new bussiness picks up). So we get all kinds of ppl in and out. Also it's in a poor part of wv.

 

You never mentioned the firemen finding the cigarette in the passenger seat.
What did you do post this as it was burning?
