XY GT HO's don't even get a price on that site[88]
I think the value is what someone is willing to spend on one, I've been offered $7000 for my RS.

+1 Like I said to a well known Automotive Enthusiast Insurance Agency who wanted to insure my RS for book value (after I had to explain to him what an RS2000 was...) "You have got to be joking mate. I thought you guys were supposed to know about cars. Really, when was the last time you bought a classic car at Redbook value?"

These market values work in our favour when we get charged Vehicle Registration Duty. $3 for every $100 of market value.
I only paid $60. It would've been a lot more if it was based on the purchase price.

My escort is insured with Shannons for an agreed value (purchase price plus modifications) and I'm happy with the policy. I need to ring them back as some stage to add some more mods on... 1600 Kent with DCOE weber etc.

Shannons have been good to me after initially refusing to insure my car for any more than $13000. Once I finally got onto someone who had a decent idea, they upped the cover to $30000 and have just had discussions about increasing to $60000 once the rebuild is finished which will be approved once they inspect the car

Shannons had no problem writing my car up for 30 grand. Cost was $451. With $300 excess and I get to keep the wreck in case of a writeoff. On the proviso that car is kept in a locked shed and only driven two or three times a month.

My RS on club rego is $120 a year to insure with the RAA, full comp with $10000.00 cover. I was happy with that.
