tayr Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) my advice would be not to sell yourself short on agreed values.. i'm paying £500/year more than my next quote but i was able to get the AV i was happy with. Unfortunately we are now coming to a time when you can't really replace like for like, only relatively close Edited June 22, 2021 by tayr (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we are now coming to a time when you can't really replace like for like, only relatively close How many people with a £40k pay-out will think I need to go straight out and find that replacement Supra? We saw from the how long have you owner your car survey that most respondents have had their cars a very long time. I'd think that very few of those would look to replace their stolen, cannibalised or crushed Supra with another Supra. If you have lived with a car for decades nothing would ever feel the same. You'd be much more likely to treat the wife to a conservatory. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Will be intereresting what agreed value I will get this year on my GZ TT Aero, still only 84k miles but completely stripped, new paint, underside and rebuilt including all suspension with new parts where needed. Currently agreed value of £35k with Sky, so will need to go up this year, cost me more to do than the agreed value and did the work myself lol.

However when your use to paying 5k for a uk TT or £1200 for a aero these kind of prices are mind blowing to me. I guess id do the adultish thing pay off some mortgage and buy another fun weekend car which to me the supra was supposed to be all along. Not one of the last unicorns that needs to be protected at all costs that its turning out to be.

Ric Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I would get another one for sure. I made the mistake of selling with my first 2 supras. I never want to sell mine unless i was in a situation with no other choice. I would still replace it if i could. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told that agreed value might not be the best way to go with how the prices are increasing almost by the day. Essentially, if you set an agreed value and in 10 months time your car is stolen then you'll only get the agreed value whereas without an agreed value you'll get the market price. And just try finding another one as good as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did well getting your replacement way back then (might even have to thank - or at least now forgive- the misses for bending the other one!?), seemed a lot at the time I recall but a very wise decision it's turned out to be.

You can run into the small print black hole with that approach as insurers can have get out of jail clauses for cars that have been out of production for X number of years. Which, if you are an insurer is sensible as parts may no longer be available to repair the car following an accident and valuation becomes more subjective.

monkey3 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 According to the vin numbers, there were actually only 348 GZ aerotops made of which only 65 were "Super Red IV" and only 48 of them were built in 1993 (the rest being built in '94 & '95) So you could say yours is one of 65 (I think it's a stretch to say it's 1 of 48) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
