That is the last resort and it's rarely happen. The first option by insurance companies is always pay the sum.

I have a nissan livina xgear 1.6 bought in 2018. Bought it for 75k. I recently checked with tukar, and a few dealers, all offer below 20k as used car price. My insurance valued my car at 43.5k last year and this year is valuing it at 43k.

Firstly its a scam to say my dropped only RM500 in 1 year. Secondly, insurance says if total loss, they only pay market rate, less than 20k. When i ask for lower valuarion they offer only at 41k. Should i change insurance, but which one is good? Anyone can recommend?

If you can confirm the insurance cpg quoted your car worth 43K officially, then there is pros and cons.

Should you suffer total lost, then they have to pay up 43K. Because they have officially say the market rate of your car is 43K. Your choice

When you checked with the dealers, is that offer for your car or how much it costs for you to buy the same car? Cos dealers will offer you below market rate. That's where their margins come from. You need to check how much does it cost to buy the same car if you're looking for market rate.

Make sure you get Agreed Value when purchasing insurance.
Agreed Value means that your car is insured based on an amount that the insurer and you have agreed on.

I would say you puchased your insurance through an agent which is "ahem:" not so honest in insuring your car.

We dont "overquote" on car values because this will lead to arguments if there are any instances of claims.

I buy direct from their hq, no agent involved. Not agreed value, hq cust serv said in email if total loss will pay market value only.

I remember that there are two option. Something like Agreed value and Market Value. The Agreed one is slightly higher but you get full insured value. The other one you get current market value. I just use the market one laugh.gif

no such thing as wrong value
the price u got from dealer is how much they think it's worth for that condition...and dealer usually lowball the customer when they want to sell it(they have to make profit from it)

what insurance company give u is the real market value of the car
u CANNOT sell your car at market value....if you want to sell your car same as market value, your car has to be in immaculate condition
what figure insurance companies give are roughly the same and is the market value of the car
different from the figure dealers would give

refer to post #29 to check yours
all insurance companies are using the same tools for market value
there are a lot of factors that affect a car's market value instead of a fixed amount every year

never use dealer's value to determine market value because one would never sell at market value
dealer's value is how much the car is worth for him at that condition

Insurance companies are using ism.net.my for market value.

Btw, quick search shows your vehicle current value is around 39,000

If you don't want to argue about market price when accident happen, just go for agreed value
