Went through something similar with my older Audi—thought the appraisal was overkill too, until someone dinged me in a parking lot. Insurance wanted proof of value, and without an appraisal, it turned into a real hassle. From what I've seen, appraisals aren't just an SD thing; seems common wherever insurers get picky about older or specialty cars. Lesson learned... paperwork matters more than you'd think.

Couldn't agree more—seen this scenario play out plenty of times. People underestimate how much insurers love their paperwork until they're knee-deep in claim headaches. Trust me, a little appraisal hassle beats the alternative every day of the week.
I get your point, but honestly, paperwork isn't always the magic bullet. I just bought my first policy and carefully read every line... still ended up confused. Sometimes clarity from the insurer matters more than piles of documents.
You're spot on—paperwork alone rarely clears things up. Insurers often bury key points in jargon-heavy language, making it tough even when you're careful. I've seen plenty of clients who read every word and still missed crucial details because the wording was vague or overly technical. Honestly, insurers need to step up and simplify their explanations... clarity beats quantity every time.

Haha, couldn't agree more. Reading insurance paperwork feels like trying to assemble IKEA furniture with instructions written in Klingon. Step 1: Open document. Step 2: Squint suspiciously at jargon. Step 3: Google every third word. Step 4: Give up and call Mom. Seriously though, you're not alone—it's a universal struggle. Hang in there, eventually it'll click (or you'll just get really good at pretending you understand).
