yea just saw that...

Insurance company want to enlarge my anus...

They will only insure accessories for $8000.. Worked mine out replacement to be over $15000..

To do this they want the car valued by independant scumbag thats paid by insurance companies to rip us off...

The value of the car is good, the premium is good, the value of accessories is unacceptable.

Thats pretty harsh description of someone just doing a job!

What about the "scumbags" that continually rip off insurance companies & make our premiums skyhigh? If these people didn't keep claiming for things that they never owned, maybe the insurers would be more trusting!
Usually people are only critical of valuers when they don't agree with their idea of what their own possessions are worth!

No...they're people doing their job!
They're being "scumbags" because over the years so many people have frauded insurance companies that they have to do the job to the Nth degree to stay in business.
How many people have heard someone bragging of how they ripped off an insurance company?? And of those that have, did you call the "ripper-offerer" a scumbag???? Bet ya didn't!! Bet ya looked at him/her with something akin to admiration in your eyes....

But they're the real scumbags!!!!

Just my opinion

So you think they would be on the side of the customer or the insurance company if it came to it?

If they were on the customers side ONCE, they would lose their job, its not hard to figure out.

Insurance companies have 4wds bent over a rail now that TCIS/CGU have pulled the pin... They can ask for EVERYTHING and anything and charge you what ever on the planet they like. Ive had quotes from $550 up to nearly $2000, and some have an $1800 YES EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AUSSIE DOLLAR Offroad Excess!!!!

CGU Themselves WONT do ANY lift anymore... APparently Via TCIS they will do a small lift, which is 1inch....

What are they supposed to think? Yipeee?

Isnt the idea of Insurance to replace things when they get stolen or Damaged...??

So an assessor tells you your $25,000 of accessories are worth $5000, what would you think?? Would you buy him a box of chocolates?

4WD's aren't the only thing suffering from insurance price hikes since 9/11

I am in the Marine industry, & yes, I do insurance valuations! I have never had an insurance company try to influence any of my valuations.
The cost of marine insurance has risen heaps as well, & like 4WD's if you modify the vessel & increase the underwriter's risk you will pay higher premiums & higher excess. The reason for the higher excess is to make you think twice before doing something stupid ...... have we ever heard "doesn't matter ...... it's insured"?

What you need to remember with accessories is
that it's not new for old ,(it should be) for ins. purposes I think they are depreciated
over X years.
I also heard that 4WD Vic is talking to RACV to take on 4WD's as a seperate catagory.

RACV were the people I left............"Shopfront" says "YES we look after 4WDers", but on serious questioning it's "Well, actually, no you can't do/have that...." as far as simple mods go (tyres, any spring/body lifts, etc.)

Pure marketing

Caveat emptor.

Go back through the archives and pull up my loooong thread on AAMI. Being IN a club is reason enough for them to knock back a claim, unless you can catagorically prove that the other people in your group are not affiliated with the same club as you are in. Any organised group of individuals constitutes a club as far as they are concerned (such as organising a trip through this forum).
