Does Shannons base their quotes on the current market value? :Chin:

Shannons would not budge over 30k for ours. Went Lumley instead.

Maybe they have had a change of heart because of customer like you that had to go elsewhere

My HZ Ute is with Lumley's for agreed value of $30K I think. Probably should check and put it up a bit.....

i have 11 cars 1 bike and my house with shannons..the secret to dealing with them is to not use the people on the phone...go find a car show that shannons is sponsoring and grab a shannons rep to come and look at it.
to argue what your vehicle is worth you need very sound knowledge of the market which is hard to do if there has been no other vehicles like yours set a precedent sales wise in the market...insurers consider auctions as a genuine value guide..(ebay is not considered a genuine auction)
research shannons website for vehicles that have sold and note the auction and the date and how much,also what the car was exactly spec wise because you will need this ammo to argue your point of value for your vehicle..ive had to do it.
as for values of sandmans...
i believe its the hq that is the most valueable because of its rarity and i also know how much i sold mine for as a basket case.
on the other hand hz sandmans are like red mustangs and arseholes..there everywhere...therefore they should be at the other end of the sandman value scale...
so if you do a value scale on rarity then it should run in order of model which is HQ HJ HX HZ..if you do your value on popularity then its gunna run back wards..HZ HX HJ HQ..

I believe so, I had to send pictuces of the interior the, engine bay and of course the van, including tag info and other proof that it was a sandman eg pictures off the original paint showing the blackouts,courtesy light and hood lining rear clip.
also the van is not an ever day driver so with limited driving the insurance cost was reasonable.
