    No point in putting more than the market value. A good guide would be halfway between the most expensive and cheapest on sale privately.

    Why would you though. The car will be judged on its current value in the event of a collision. Rating car more or less valuable than it is right now will only get the insurer to think you're up to something..

    Yes. In some casss. Some companies load cars that are worth less than a certain amount.
