Actually, Modifications decrease resale value. 4,000 is reasonable for a 93 with your milage.
yes resale means nothing to me really, Its how much time, parts and accessories that i have in the car really says what its really worth

for example
my neon collection is over $700 alone, and i put over $1000 this summer in parts and accessories( that dosent include the neon). I figure by the time that i am done with my car i will have $10,000 in to it. The next mod is the audio system that is scheduled to cost me 4,000, and that is everything installed by myself.

Incorrect.... both of you. This is how it was explained to me, by both my insurance company, and the appraiser.

Depending on the mods, the value can go up or down, regardless of what the mod cost.
IE, if you had a muscle car from the 70s, and replaced the stock rims, with some aftermarket stuff... the org rims would give the car a greater value. Same with body kits and stuff.

The appraised rate is everything that the car has.... engine... stereo... rims... etc etc. It'* like a replacement value if the car was stolen.

You are right, most places do go by the KBB value, which is how my insurance company works, BUT, since the KBB value is below what they would normally insure the car for, they asked if I would get it appraised inorder to continue having insurance with them.

Not sure where you're getting $6800 from.... but anyways....
$7500 is my replacement value.... if the car is stolen... that'* what I get.
Since the car is now appraised... there is no fighting over how much it'* worth.

To the insurance company, my 91 is worth $7500 CAD (unofficially... I get the real # back tomorrow).

Of course if I sold it I'd never get $7500 for it.... but that'* what it would be worth.
Anyways.... it'* worth more then $7500 to me..... I'm just glad I'll be able to fully insure it next year.
