Make sure you check the suppressant type. Some of the older dry-chem ones would eat wiring insulation and corrode aluminum and magnesium severely. To the point of weakening it. Those are not generally things you want to use on a car you might want to keep.

Halon didn't do that, but is hard to find (for generally good reasons). CO2 doesn't cause those problems, but it seems you need more of it for a given size of fire than other chemicals. I'm not sure about the more modern ones, though.
