Im thinking of insuring it for ?2.5k, with a realistic sale price of about ?2200? Is that agreeable?

[scott.parker]

Yeah mate that around what mine is set for,just make sure you say everything about the mods first time round,they charge silly ?30 chrges for paper work to be changed :roll:

oh and also notice your runing same odd tyre set up as me :lol:

Scott

[SRimon]

lol yea, it will be fully declared...

Tyres - original package was yoko's decided they were shit, bought toyo's! :lol:

[dooooney]

bling bling look at all the chrome

[ANDYRACER]

Seems a shame to sell it now after it has took u this long to build it. Ive looked in autotrader at a few valver novas and they dont seem to be shifting for much more than 2k.

Read the thread properly, he wants to know how much to tell the insurance it is worth :roll:

[ANDYRACER]

Ahh sorry my bad a lil hungover got my gcse results yesterday :lol:
Well yeh they seem to be going for about 2k on autotrader so about what u said.

[Jack]

^ but having said that its worth considering market values of "equivalent" cars as well so you know what to go for, realistically

[SRimon]

I do have the odd look at valver nova's on autotrader, they range from 2-3k...mines not a 3k value one as its only a standardish engine, but i rate it higher than the bottom end value ones.

:D

[Lee]

also worth bearing in mind is if its stolen / written off , most insurers will only give 2 thirds of the insured price back and also the higher you insure it for, the more damage you have to do before its actually written off. Flip side is your premium will rise the more you value it.
