rx4 wagon question
How much is a mint Rx4 wagon worth? I am trying to get my car valued via my insurance company and they are saying they cant find any sales historical data. As far as I know this car is extremely rare so im not surprised there haven't been any market sales.
I put a value of 20k which I believe is fair and probably lower than what it would go for at auction to a collector.
They are saying the only classic guide websites they can find with a value is saying $3100 which is completely ludicrous.
I know it would just be hear say but I wanted to get some experienced users opinion on this. How much you think cars worth?

It's chess, not checkers.
I was in a similar situation with my insurance company (Farmer's) & my 74 REPU. Ultimately, since I couldn't find comparables, they insured the car for what I paid for it through Haggerty Insurance once I showed them the Bill of Sale. I paid about 8K less than what the truck is worth in the US, and way less than what it's worth to a buyer in Australia or New Zealand. If you can get a licensed appraiser to appraise it they will insure it for that amount, but the appraiser might have the same problem finding comparables like you did. Your wagon is beautiful though. What state are you located in, if you don't mind me asking? I'm in California.

yeah but how did they agree to something they can’t prove ? I can say my cars worth 1 million dollars and they still need evidence of that . How did you show them it’s worth that much ? Do u have 30k under the hood with receipts?

We’ll I just figured out how he got a 40k evaluation . Hagerty doesn’t even talk to you in the phone or ask for proof of value . You fill out the application and you get accepted lmaoo . That’s sketchy considering other companies ask you all this **** and are super strict . Also thanks Tom that is a good find.

It's not sketchy. They don't actually care how much it's worth; they care how much you are willing to pay to protect it, and how careful they think you will be. Actual value is irrelevant.

Yeah maybe sketchy wasn't the right word. But I respect that they do that and aren't as strict as the others. Even if the other companies are way cheaper.

And if you lie, it's insurance fraud. So nobody is going to claim there Camry is worth $200k unless they are ok with possible jail time

Thank you for your input mark. Pretty much the same deal they are asking for bill of sale. So I guess I’m okay with insuring what I paid for it. Even though it’s less than market value I’m sure. Wish I could get a rotary expert to chime in on the phone with the insurance agent like in pawn stars lmao. I’m in NJ unfortunately lol. Have friends in CA. How’s the old school rotary scene out there? You ever see any ?
This is what i found in Nor Cal. I actually think i saw this truck at the JCCS once, circa 2019.
Others may disagree, that's just my 2 cents.)

I've never seen one of these wagons for sale in person. Still, after poking around on the internet and talking with other classic car enthusiasts, it seems like there are a few things you should know if you want to buy one. What makes these cars expensive and rare? I found out on https://www.jdmbuysell.com/for-sale/honda/beat/ that the Rx4 wagon was only sold in the United States for one year. It was also sold in Canada (where it's called the Savanna), but there were only about 2,200 of them produced.
