RE: Salvage Value

[Eaton Dave <dave.eaton@minedu.govt.nz>]

to be honest, i've always been prepared to pay above market premiums for a
little piece of paper which says that 1) in the event of a claim i am able
to nominate the place of repair, 2) that the assessor is a 3rd party and 3)
the assessor will view the vehicle at my nominated place of repair.

it's only happened to me once (within a month of owning my old wr), but
imho, it's worth paying a couple of hundred extra for.  an insurance company
who understands car enthusiasts - is that an oxymoron?...
