This is yet another reason insurance rates continually go up.

Do the right thing and just sell your car and buy another one.

I'm still surprised he can get more for the car through insurance than private sale.  That's not how it is here in the states...

all im saying is that nothin is selling in aus at the moment... insurance has always paid really well and so many people do it over here.. its not a normal thing but if someone say they have done it then it doesnt sound bad. they do it with houses. businesses and especially trucks. it costs about 1k aus for excess but u make about 3-4k on a car thats worth around 10k usually. and it takes about 3 to 4 weeks for them to pay u out. i know it sounds stupid. its just how our system works

That's insurance fraud, and it's illegal.
