I've done a (tiny) bit of research into insuring your VW for its real value... one bit I came across on one insurer's web site is the distinction between "stated value" and "agreed value." Apparently with a stated value policy, the ins. company still has final say as to the settlement--and it can be less than the stated value. With an agreed value policy, you & the insurer agree to the exact amount of the settlement in the event of a complete loss (theft or a "totalled" accident). If anybody has any additional info on this topic, please speak up!
