Parts car available in the Napa CA area

[Jim]

A fellow who has bought parts from me over the years called and said his '89 caught on fire yesterday and is now available for parts. He did not have comprehensive insurance so he is just taking the loss. The inside and dash burnt pretty bad.

If someone is interested send me an email and I can provide a phone number.

Any idea why it caught fire?

Ditto on Bushwack. Scarry stuff even with insurance.

Hard to understand why someone would not have comprehensive. Collision I can see noy having but comprehensive is usually pretty inexpensive.

He is an older fellow and when I questioned him about the fire, wondering where it started, he wasn't sure. He said he was driving the car and when he stopped, smoke started coming from the somewhere in the dash. When he opened the door the fire really took off. I also tried to pin him down on where he thought it might have started but he didn't know.

I do not have collision and comp on some of my Reattas but I also have parts cars so I can fix any damage or replace a windshield if I need to do so.

Now that a lot of the high mileage or rusty Reattas are only worth $ 1500 or less, paying for collision or comp isn't worth it.

The last three Reatta parts cars I bought were running driving cars and I paid $ 500 for two of them and $ 300 for the other.

Some Reattas are simply not worth paying the higher premiums.

I have Geico and comprehensive ($100 deductable) runs $35/6month for each Reatta. Considering the cost of a windshield ($0 deductable by state law) that seems reasonable. I do get a lot of discounts.
