Default GC8 insurance

Wondering you guys with GC8's how much are your cars insured for? I just got quoted $9000 for one if I pay $16000 and close to stock. That seems like some BS to me, since my last policy I had $15,000 on it. This is with Just Car.

Shannons $650 per year for an MY99 WRX valued at $12500 (We do have 2 cars on the policy, clean licence, max no claims and have never made any claim of any kind. Lockable garage too.) We also chose higher excess, lower premium.

I strongly dispute the 12500 valuation, but what can you do? I make noises every year and get it bumped by $500 or so, but it's still ridiculously low for a stock-standard as-new car with 90k on the clock.

I am 19 Seems fair to me.

Didn't think RAC would be good at all, they did the worst online quote like $8500... Just weird how I had $15000 before and all of a sudden dropped down by $6000. I'll try shannons and let you guys know the best one I can find so people can see for future reference.

I am with RAC too...

Car is insured for 17000 agreed value with an extra 3000 on top of that for sound gear.
Yearly premium is around 1800.
At the time of the start of the policy I was 20yrs old...

Market value on a 10+ year old WRX is well under $10,000. Check Redbook. What you can sell one for is a different question and insurance companies don't look at that.

RAC tried pulling the, your car has reduced in value to 12.4k to me about a week ago with '' agreed value'' after a half hour conversation was renewed back to 15k flat. Most of the time the ''agreed value'' they send you a letter for is just what they see it's agreed to via the reports they look at. If you don't agree with it, call them and argue your case, most times they'll either change the insured value to what you want, or closer to what your after.
