I don't know anything about the types of vehicle starters so I couldn't hazard a guess about the difference between the current generation of starters versus ones used in the past. It's a good thing this happened while the engine was off and the car was parked on the street in front of the house. It smelled really bad. I quickly took just about everything I had kept in the car out in a hurry in case something ignited and hurriedly dumped it all on floor just inside the front door of the house- my reusable grocery bags, laundry carrying bags and detergent for trips to the laundromat, the emergency gas can that's never been used, everything out of the glove box including the insurance card and vehicle registration. There are just a couple of things I need to still retrieve from the trunk.
We have a lot of 'we pay cash for cars running or not' car salvage businesses around here who will come the same day you call to buy cars for cash and haul it away.
