When mine was stolen I was first offered a hidiously low amount. I was advised by a friend who works in insurance to look through autotrader.co.uk and find all cars of the same spec. Then present the info to the insurers. They paid, no messing around, the exact amount I insured the car for.

Had the same problem myself car was only valued at book price about 4k.
Ive put 20k plus into it so stood to make a massive loss if anything happened to it.
Spoke to Keith Micheals and insured it for a nominated value of £30k with all mods declared so they will replace on like for like basis.
If car is stolen and not recovered then thats what they pay.
I pay a slight premium but its worth it for piece of mind
£800 fully comp i am 42 years old live in a good postcode have no points and 9 years no claims.

The other option would be to get an agreed value policy. I don't how much extra this would be. My mate used to have one for his Elise race car. It was a s1 Elise but had the Honda type r engine and some expensive suspension.

Insurer? Has the assessor seen the car? Is he familiar with Subarus and higher JDM models in particular? It wont be hard to undermine him which invalidates his opinion over value too.

A-plan, but i think the insurance people are called micheal douglas or something like that.
assor has seen the car, and he said he is waiting to hear back from the insurance about my mods (they are all declaired) and said i had a aftermarked spoiler on?? looks like a standard v6 sti one to me!
so really he hasnt got a clue, and giving me a value of a run down impreza instead

i have got the value of 10k on my insurance, but they said today that is what i value my car at, and they aid it says on my policy in small print etc they will go by market value
is there anyone out there who can help me fight my side with me, as im rubbish as this sort of thing

theres one in for sale section, same sort of spec etc, you need to find all the ammo you can, there are imported wrx sti's on pistonheads for 6-7k nowhere near as good or specced up as yours, give the links/adverts to your insurance company and tell them to get stuffed. they will always offer bottom book price first. try having a word with moley and ask his thoughts on the best way to go about it, im sure he would be happy to give a bit of advice.

might sound daft but could you use ebay and look for completed listings of scoobs like yours that have sold? that would show them evidence of prices people are paying for them, i think an argument they'd use about showing adverts off autotrader etc is that people can put any value they want on an advert, but completed listings will show what some of them have changed hands for?

well i checked the completed listings and the only V6's seemed to have been put up at the 6.5/7K mark and they didn't sell, there were V3's that sold for 3.5 ish so yours should be more than that but i suspect it won't be as much as you want
