Would the agreed insured value be fair asking price for cars?
What's people thoughts?
Trying to work out what's fair market value & also justify an offer.
Cheers

Don't you think that inflates the prices? The valuations i have heard of bump the prices up significantly

I suppose so, as in the past with used cars, the agreed value was like a 'retail' value & market value was wholesale. Private sale somewhere in between?

To be honest i have not much idea. I wanted to look at a HQ Kingswood last year here in Perth. It was advertised for $14k. I was first in line to look, but someone over east paid $24k from memory, sight unseen. Just like that it was gone

Anything decent, or a rare model seems to go for a premium?

I thought insurance companies bump their valuation because finding a replacement vehicle is near on impossible, and if you do, to get it you pay a premium to pry it from the cold dead hands of the owner!?

Seems like there's a mad rush to sell going on right now. Current prices can't last forever, there aren't that many cashed up stooges in Australia anymore.

Going by the results of last weeks Gosford Museum auction, it appears that there are !!

Yes still some stooges around. The EH Premier sedan sold for $54k + buyers premium. When I was in the museum towards the end of last year I asked about this car, asking price was $36k.
