My car was written off and my insurer is offering $15k, saying that’s the market value.
However, similar cars (same model/year/km) are currently listed on Carsales and Facebook for $17–18k. Even ignoring my aftermarket upgrades (alloys, tyres, headlights, spoiler, etc.), $15k feels low.
If they refuse to go higher than $15–16k, what’s my best move?
• Can I formally dispute their valuation?
• Is AFCA worth it?
• Have people had success using Carsales ads to negotiate?
Keen to hear others’ experiences.
Insurance (AAMI) write-off payout seems low- what are my options if they won’t budge? (NSW)

Those cars listed for sale are the ASKING price, not what they actually sold for. You can list a car for anything, but it doesn’t mean it will sell for that.
