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?

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.

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

In 2023 car waa valued at 45000
In 2024 valued at 43500
In 2025 valued at 43000

Its impossible my car only depreciate 2k from yr 6 to yr 8.
