Help to value my ultra low milage 2007 A3

[Donk Turbo]

Hi guys, a new Audi A3 owner and forum member. Trying to sort car insurance out and am struggling to value my car accordingly due it's extremly low mileage. It's a late 2007 2.0t with only 9500 miles, yes 9.5k miles! Has been serviced at Audi 8 times with 2 cambelt changes and is like brand new inside and out. S-line, manual, 18" speedlines. I bought it from a friend of a friend so would like to think that I had a good deal. I have tried various car valuation sites and am getting between £1.5k-£3k, whilst the nearest I've seen for sale as a comparison is similarly aged cars with 50-60k miles going for around £5-£6k. Was hoping that a forum full of experts could offer some advice so I could insure it accordingly.

I would look at Autotrader for the same model and year then look at valuations for different mileages then make a judgement from there working it out to current represent mileage and condition being aware that trade and private sale valuations will be different.
On the other hand, some may say the valuation is what you paid for it!

How can it have had 8 services within 9.5k miles

As for valuation the only advise I can give is that you get some sort of specialist insurance cover that will guarantee you a fixed sum on pay out a bit like classic car insurance, you will have to supply evidence of mileage condition e.t.c. but it will probably be expensive...

Insurance value would be whatever it costs to replace from a dealer. You’ll be looking at the top end of the dealer prices of currently available A3’s. Having a look at Autotrader/eBay is a good guide.

Insure it for what you paid for it. Insurance will always the low end of the market value so look at a Gap insurance to cover any extra.

I'm not sure if it's possible but as @samuelh_888 said, try to get an agreed insurance value, or insure it for the maximum you can and then get another policy to cover the difference.

Pretty sure the AA do valuations so would be hard pushed not to honour that with their insurance. If not just go to an independent broker, like this who i use
