Default Insurance issues

So I'm at a cross road with insurance on my A8. Has anybody had experience with "totaling" out an A8? Since there is a quite a difference between book and street values on these machines, the question is: What do insurance companies consider the value of these machines? KBB considers the value at $13,300. I purchased it for $4500.

Hey. No accident (knocks on wood) thankfully. I'm just insurance shopping. I've been out of the country a lot this fall - Yukon, Chile, and Ghana. I'm tired of airplanes...

Default What's the issue? If you bought at $4.5K, you should be "chasing" other cars...

on the road for the opportunity to have it totalled and appraised at KBB prices :-)

Preferably park close to construction zones, loading/unloading bays, snow plowers, other city equipement, etc.

Default Not quite....

Most will use NADA low book unless you have the condition of your car documented for the insurance company before you get insurance.
