Whatever makes you feel good. Panel boxes of all brands burn down every day.

That’s like saying people get in car crashes every day, so why bother wearing your seatbelt?

Right. How many insurance companies are refusing coverage for Square D or Eaton panels?

Funny, my homeowners never cared that I had a stablok box, neither did my rental house that had it for the 10 years I owned it.

Plenty of people don't wear their seatbelts.

Maybe seller got another offer and is looking for a way out and to keep your friends earnest money?

If that isn’t the case, offer them a bit more to let the electrician replace the panel prior to closing. If your friend doesn’t have a few thousand to get this done, then buying an as-is house is probably not the right choice. Can they put it on a credit card?
