Is the insurer valuing my Opel Corsa correctly?

Hi, I wonder can you help. I need to renew my car insurance and they have the value of my car at €14,000. It is a 2007 Opel Corsa Club with about 34,000 kilometres on the clock. Any idea what the value should be at this stage? It might bring down the insurance. Worth a try!

Thanks

Hi David,

Your car is worth closer to €8,000. That might make a difference to the insurance, but don't be tempted to say it's worth less than it is.

Good luck and let us know how you get on
