Grundy or Haggerty

keep in mind they are going to pay what ever is less, stated value or the actual cash value. so if you say its worth 50 million and they find it to be worth two bucks your getting two bucks.
no....agreed value is just that,agreed value;)
 
Ok so just for example's sake NOT ACTUAL NUMBERS... if i owe 25 on my truck and i get in a wreck. To replace it the other trucks are selling for 50 does the agrred value need to be 50k... 25k to pay my truck and 25k to get the new loan back to 25k????

no. your loan would be paid off, truck taken, you would be walking home.

HOWEVER if you owe $50,000, and the truck is worth $10,000, and you total it your truck would belong to the insurance company, and you would owe the bank 40,000 still.

they determine value.

the way they do it for uncommon cars and trucks is to take selling price of the last ones sold or advertised for sale in your area. average them out, deduct money, about 20% and say that only 1% of cars are in excellent condition. they hand you a check for half of what it cost to replace or pay off you truck. again your screwed. thats why if your bank offers it getting gap insurance from the bank is the best protection.

sorry... this not how grundy,hagerty (classic automobile policies) works.i insured mine as an "exotic". agreed value which i picked out of thin air,i could have chosen $50,000.00 ,but i don't owe anything on the truck,so i decided 30,000 was fair.(if you up the agreed value, of course it will cost more) i'm paying 692 a year,0 deductable on collision and "other than collision" and it can't be a daily driver

YOU set the agreed value,so yes you can insure for 50.
 
you can set the agreed value at 50 million, there not going to give you 50 million if you total it. that's what i am saying. if ya don't believe me, ask them.

is that a response or an inflammatory remark?
Its both, If your dumb enough to call and insurance company and expect them to insure a damn dodge truck fo 50 million you have to be on drugs. 50k is realistic, beacuse thats what they cost new. And I damn sure wouldnt be taking any insurance advice from you being that right now you are being investigated for insurnace fraud. ;)

my point is this. your wasting money. the higher the value, the higher the premium. and again, they will not pay more then the actual cash value.

oh, and the fraud thing. haven't heard back from them in weeks, i would guess its dropped :p

You, my friend, are 100% WRONG. Agreed value is the value that the customer and insurance company AGREE that the vehicle is worth before entering into a legally binding CONTRACT. If you READ a collector car policy you will find that the agreed value does not drop unless BOTH parties in the contract agree to drop the value, therefore depreciation does not become an issue.
If you insure your truck for an agreed value of $30,000 and go drive it under my big rig, you'll get a check for $30,000+sales tax in some states-deductible.
 
I didnt mean for that to cause an arguement. I was just checking because since the economy is so low i dont want to get screwed and end up upside down or the funds to replace it. But thank you everyone for you input. The insurance website answered my question...
 
Most auto insurers determine what they — not you — believe is the “Actual Cash Value” of your vehicle at the time of the loss. Others may offer a pre-determined, “Stated Value” which covers you “up to” your policy amount minus depreciation. Hagerty offers an “Agreed Value” determined between you and us when you insure your vehicle. You have a total covered loss and that amount is what you receive.
i stand corrected.
how do they determine the value up front?
their must be a process? i doubt that being said they just use your value?

No, you do not stand corrected.....You type in what you think is a fair value. Obviously it has to be something reasonable.....no 50 million like you want.
 
ok Hagerty sounds like a good insurance company for the 10's but what do they call a DD? and how do they determine that?
