Approximate value

Hi all,
My 2014 VF SV6 auto sedan has done less than 22,000km. I need to reconsider my insurance policy so would like to know what you think its current value is.

Thanks

We have a MY14 VF CalaisV (V6) handed down from my parents who bought it new in Dec 2013. It has just ticked over the 70k.
insurance company automatically put $24830 on it when I took it over 12 months ago today. This year‘s renewal just paid was for a value of $24300…so no arguments from me.

My MY16 VF2 SV6 wagon is insured with RAA in SA for a market value policy is valued at 28k, more than I expected.

Redbook should be able to give you a good idea of what your car could be worth. Use that along with an insurance company's quote of market value and you should have a fair understanding of the actual value of the car.

RedBook won’t have a published value which has such low km’s … on the site their prices will be for a car having travelled average km’s per year.

Having much lower mileage than normal leads to a hard-to-predict value; because the low km’s have such different value to different potential buyers.

Sounds like you need to drive the car a lot more to me. If we say value of 20k it has already lost half of the new car price but driven less than 10% of its potential.

If it's for insurance and your going for an agreed value you really have to go for the upper end if you can afford it. Have a look on carsales and find a vehicle similar that you would have to consider as a replacement if your car is written off

I had a meeting in the city (Adelaide) I had to attend the other day and took my "daily driver" SV6 wagon.

As I reached the city, the odometer clicked over 30,000km's and I did a few laps looking for a parking spot. After finding a parking spot with the least potential for someone to run into the car or open their doors on it and dent it, I was about 6 streets and 15-minute walk away from the meeting and thought I'd rather driven a bunky car to the city that didn't matter what happened to it.

After the meeting and 15-minute walk back to the car in my safe parking spot, a nearly 8 year old VF2 wagon sitting in the street that almost looks brand new, was an inspiring sight to take a memorial photo of the mighty Holden we can't buy new anymore!

If you've got a mint VF, the more you drive it, the faster you wear it out and the more vulnerable it is for someone else to stuff it up, then what?

If you have a mint VF and don't drive it I'm pretty sure one day you will wish you did.
I mean, what are you saving it for? If somebody offered you a low km stream engine tomorrow for only 25,000 bucks would you buy it? That's a very good price for a steam engine you know?
