They won't argue just give them your figure & 6 pics but they may limit your milage & insist it is garaged (locked)!

 

I'm guessing top of the market is 25k to 30k retail, always insure for more, I don't reckon I asked high enough on mine.

 

I went in high on my Beetle, I was being a bit cheeky, but the car has interesting history, they came and said, ok, but 2k lower, which was where I wanted to be. They will beat you down....if they think you pushing your luck.

 

I used A-Plan for both the Bug and the Bus, happy so far, but not needed to claim, so can't say......

 

I wonder if anyone’s actually got the agreed valuation paid out in a shunt. I suspect not.

 

No .... only applies if total loss

 

I insure my Bay parked on driveway and MGB parked in locked garage, both with Lancaster and agreed valuations which are my own valuations based on realistic replacement costs.

For your van, I would suggest 18k and they would need lots of photos of the van. If you had a total loss on the van, would you be happy with an 18k pay out.

Typically total loss would be a fire (let it burn) or theft or severe accident damage costing more than your valuation.

 

I would go in at £22.5k an odd figure!

 

While you’re at it Alex, worth getting on to the DVLA and changing the Vehicle Class to “Mexican Brothel On Wheels”

 

Shag pile

 

“Oooh, Iiii don’t think I’ve had the pleasure of your carpet...”

 

There's a guy Gloucester way who's a moderator on earlybay, "Clem" (Mike Clemson) who's done official valuations for insurance purposes for over twenty years.
Might be worth asking him whether he knows enough about later bays?
He did me a valuation two years ago and there's an up to date one in the post for this year ... £10 a pop. Might do it off photos.
You should go as high as possible to avoid it being written off if pranged and needing repairs as I think they use a percentage cut off point ...
Mine is tidy, US LHD rust free unwelded, (but restored so not original paint) and would be lucky to get more than £20,000, at the moment, but the agreed "value" is £30,000 which is probably more about what it would set me back to start again than about what you could buy an equivalent for??

 

I'm wondering how you know what a “Mexican Brothel On Wheels” looks like?

 

Was that carpet made from roadkill?

My bus agreed value is what I paid for it and sent them copy of the invoice. If you've spent money on it, factor that in as well but I wouldn't go much above the going rate on ebay etc for comparable buses.

 

They are. Quite ridiculous wishful thinking.
