If you were in a position of enjoying your life and truck and all is good, ….and all of a sudden out of nowhere and no warning smoke comes out from your wheel wells and maybe you might even smell smoke in the cab and you have the ability to pull over, grab the extinguisher and stop the beginnings of a fire….would you? Or would you let it burn to the ground and just write it off and start over?
Start over knowing you’d get a higher value for your vehicle writing it off as a pose to trying to sell it (before catastrophic event).
For me personally and is my opinion, I know I’m not bound to put myself at risk if the vehicle was going to burn to the ground but I also know I’d get a higher value payout if it’s written off (as this is what happened when an elk ran out onto the highway, destroying my last truck, back in last October) Insurance looked at what my vehicle was selling for at dealer lots to establish its value.
On the other hand, I could spray the extinguisher all over the engine and have it towed to some dealership to wait for parts and repairs to be done…
