looking around the auction listings this evening, i came across a late model Patrol that had been written off - repairable.
Nothing unusual about that except it was written off because it had chlorine spilt in the back of it.
I understand the harshness of chlorine but surely it would be your own problem if spilt something like that in your car - wouldnt it?
Would an insurer actually take the claim serious if you tried to make such a claim (obviously for whatever reason they did this time).
I would have thought it would have to be cheaper to clean up a spill as such than to pay out on a $30000 4wd.
Sure the over powering smell may be hard to get rid of and i dont know if chlorine will bring on the rust or not (i dare say it would) but it must be able to be cleaned up and used safely if its a repairable - if it was that dangerous that no matter what, you could not get the chlorine smell out, it would be a Stat write off.
anyone have any sound opinions or other similar stories?
