Appraisal
Has anyone had their car appraised for insurance purposes recently? If so, can you let me know who/where it was appraised. I am getting a bit nervous with the fact that these vehicles are becoming rarer, and would like to have my vehicle appraised as opposed to just being reimbursed on the value stated on my bill of sale.
Thanks,
Jimbo

Get an agreed value policy if that's allowed in Ontario. I doubt an "appraiser" will provide a number you want. Our cars are not yet "collectible" or rare but there's no market data either.

Would the value of the CAD affect the sale price of our cars? I bought mine for 13,600 canadian car, with no mods, no accidents, and 100k on the clock, but now there's cars going for over 16k, with more mileage, US cars, and accident history what gives?

You're probably best to ask your insurance company directly, however the above has been my experience

I'm having a really hard time figuring out what to price my car at. The numbers just sound too high you know.. I'm not complaining but never thought my car had appreciated in value so much

The book values for these cars are much lower than they actually sell for. For example, the ministry used the "red book" as a base for what to charge for taxes on vehicle transfers.
I would get an "agreed value" policy and have it in writing that they must payout that value in the event of a total loss.

The rate is crap, and people are not going to travel to the states to purchase S2000 anymore
Even at over 16k, you're still saving a lot buying it in the Canadian market as opposed to importing one.
If you can find one in the states selling for 11000USD, that is still more expensive than buying a 16000CAD imported one in Canada
I think it's pretty normal to see why our cars appreciate.
Also, for an originally US imported vehicle, I was told that the process/paperwork involved of exporting it back to US is easy
You can easily sell a good condition AP2 for 20000USD, and factoring in the exchange rate it'll be a price that you'd never be able to get in Canada
In addition, black book value will always be low when people are always trying to avoid paying tax by lying about what they paid for the car. The UVIP amount accounts for the transaction prices also on the used market.
I could easily sell my car for 16000USD in buffalo or something and it'll be a few thousand CAD more than my asking price.
