  • Today we make our nasty dirty McLaren 650S look brand new and take it for the first drive after sitting for 3 years. We bought this car sight unseen at the salvage auction with mystery "engine fire burn damage." Will it start and run? Will there be hidden damage? Will our risk pay off? The before and after is crazy on this total loss supercar!

    That is an Audison bit one audio processor, and an Audison multi channel amp (can't tell from the video witch one) it's absolutely aftermarket equipment, it's a high end processor designed to take the signal from the factory radio, adjust and allow tuning to send to a amplifier. More than likely, it has some high-end speakers and possibly an added subwoofer. It's absolutely better than the OEM sound system, just like performance parts and tune can provide more hp, that audio equipment can absolutely outperform the stock setup. Most of what people think is good OEM audio isn't any good to an audiophile, and it will show on test equipment compared to aftermarket

    It is quite possible that the smoke smell would dissipate in a couple of years, HOWEVER, even if it took a year to do so, rather than the two it has had, I doubt if anyone would deem it reasonable to expect the owner to put up with the smell while it did. As such, even though it sounds excessive, all that replacement could actually have been necessary to return it to the road within a reasonable time free from the smell of smoke.
    Going by your brief summary of the events, I suspect that all the 'extra' costs such as lawyers, expert testimony etc. came to far more than the amount they were trying to save, and that no one thought to re-examine the car ro see if the smell of smoke was still present, but went on the initial reports etc -.oops!
    But great for you.

    Insurance companies take your monthly premiums and then do not want to pay the claims. And then like in Florida and California, they want to jack up premiums sky high or leave the state after years of taking customers money.
