Why have your vehicle appraised

• SELLING A COLLECTOR VEHICLE An appraisal can be a tremendous help when selling a collector vehicle. • INSURANCE Protect your ivestment of time and money. You should have input on how much your vehicle is insured for. Have a professional appraisal on file with your insurance company and have an endorsement to your policy indicating the type and/or amount of coverage your vehicle has. • INSURANCE CLAIMS On occasion, an insurance company and its insured do not agree on the amount of the loss. At this time, either may demand an appraisal where each party selects an appraiser to evaluate and declare separately the actual cash value of the loss. • DONATION / GIFT The IRS requires an appraisal for any substantial gift to a charity or eligible museum, etc. This is for a tax write off. • COLLATERAL The value of your collector vehicle helps to increase your "net worth". Many banks require this on collector car loans. • DIVORCE Yes, the "D" word. Don't ever let a court or some attorney determine what your vehicle is worth. • ESTATE Our appraisal helps prevent your heirs from being "ripped off" when they try to sell your special vehicles. • BUYING A COLLECTOR VEHICLE A pre-purchase appraisal could protect you against overpaying for a vehicle. We also inspect the car thoroughly and give you a condition grade report. • CLAIM SETTLEMENT If you are arguing with an insurance company over the value of your vehicle after a loss then an appraisal NOW can be a big help. We determine Diminished and Pre Accident Values. • FRAUD Our appraisal can help build your case.
