supra_jms Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Hi all, getting ready for the better weather and looking to get an agreed value car insurance for the supra. Basically just want to know what people think it's worth in today's market. It's a 1996 jap TT auto. She is a facelift with pre facelift gearbox and pre vvti engine. It has an A02B diff and UK spec brakes. She is 100% stock with zero mods on the car, even has a stock radio still in the car. Mileage is at 47,000. Just had everything replaced at srd including belts, plugs, diff, power steering fluid etc. Must admit also curious for resale too.

Mo Reviews Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 ~£25k I would think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_jms Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Oo really? Currently only have it insured for 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane34 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 If you wait for the right buyer maybe, however there has been a white one for sale less miles but mods, think that went for a bit less then 25? Think it's been relisted lately for 26k. Value who knows but probably around 20k for a fast sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 As it's unmolested, it'll be worth a little more than a modified one I would think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Just to put it In perspective, my agreed value for my TT auto is £25k but I had to supply a lot of evidence to support it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Value who knows but probably around 20k for a fast sale The insured value should be the price to buy an equivalent car not the sales value. The former is usually 15-25% higher. Those dealers need a margin too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Mines currently agreed at £30k and they know it’s an NA 6 speed car converted to TT. I sent them documentation showing what it would cost to replace and they didn’t question it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayr Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 As it's unmolested, it'll be worth a little more than a modified one I would think... interestingly, my insurance company asked if i had receipts for any 'mods' that would increase the value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 interestingly, my insurance company asked if i had receipts for any 'mods' that would increase the value Of course. The purpose of agreed value is the cost it takes to give you what you had before any accident or loss. Insurance would need to cover the cost of a car and the modification you've made as long as you can provide the receipts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I just showed them similar examples of other Supra for similar price and they matched my proposal. I don't have receipts for much of my work. I feel if you can find other market examples, it's a weighty argument for replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 interestingly, my insurance company asked if i had receipts for any 'mods' that would increase the value You're absolutely right, I was thinking about its value if it were to be sold privately.

Interesting. Hope it's not standard practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_jms Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 So maybe I should look at around the 25k mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBR Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 My car is the same colour, spec, year and also bone stock. Insured for €32.5K € (£28K) after an appraisal which was needed for the insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Push for £30k. Find other adverts to help the price. Let them knock you down. Rather than you punting too low. They can only say no. I wish I'd had a higher price. When they say yes without question. Always makes you wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not how it works sadly, I tried to push for £30k on my car as it obviously not a common supra...they just point blank refused, they won’t come back with a counter offer sorta thing.

Ah interesting. I would have thought they would have surely said no this is what it's worth due to reason a. Reason b. Etc. Were you able to use similar vehicles? Or they just didnt care.

Were you able to use similar vehicles? Or they just didnt care. I explained to them that the car didn’t come under your normal supra price/availability due to it being a rare colour, explained only x amount came up for sale over the last 10 years. I also got a valuation from JM imports for backing up about how rare it is and also registered the car with that supra registry, i used them to verify the numbers produced and etc. Also had to give them detailed pictures of the car to along with it. I’ll check my emails to see if I can find the email I sent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC93 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I currently have my factory original 94 TT Auto for sale for £21k, 94k, all the rare options, folder of paperwork/spare keys, all maintenance up to date etc, also insured for £21k ..but had no serious people come to view it over the last few months. Hopefully things pick up and I get it sold now we're past Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Well if the cat N UK spec supra with the wrong gearbox just made the best part of £16k then you can easily slap on another £10k to an undamaged one, if not more i'd have thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll check my emails to see if I can find the email I sent... Maybe there is a pattern with different companies. I suppose it would depend on the underwriters though and not sure that's easy to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
