About Vehicle Appraisals ppraisals estimate the current Fair Market Value of a vehicle and are used for IRS Donations, Insurance valuation and losses, Divorce settlements, Pre-Purchase estimates of valuation, Estate settlement, and Fraud. Appraisals are not “written in stone” values, they are the Appraisers’ opinions of the current market status the of a given car, truck, motorcycle, RV or other collector vehicle. CVA of NM Appraisals are the opinions of the Appraiser you have retained and not of any other Appraiser, restorer, mechanic or interested party. We cannot Appraise what we cannot see. We do not remove parts for inspection nor do we disassemble engines, transmissions, differentials, wiring or any parts of a vehicle to examine them. If there are doubts about how an element of your vehicle operates we will ask to have the doors, hood, trunk, tailgates, convertible tops, etc. opened for us. We only drive vehicles for Pre-Purchase Appraisals, and then, only under certain circumstances. If the vehicle is not Titled, Registered and plated or Insured, or in extreme cases, damaged beyond safely being able to be operated, we cannot drive it to inspect for road noises, wandering, stopping ability or any of a myriad of other elements. What you get when you hire a CVA of NM Appraiser You’ll get an original written and signed, three or four-page opinion of your vehicles’ current condition and current market status as to value, based on an on-site inspection and research performed online and through written materials as well as conversations with other Appraisers and Professional sources, as necessary, from an Independent Appraiser, Certified by I-VAN. Photographs of your vehicle, in particular pictures depicting conditional issues which may be of concern to the Owner, Potential Buyer, Insurance company or other parties requesting the Appraisal are always available and may be included with the Appraisal you have contracted. Your Appraisal is yours alone, and is not shared with any individuals, corporate entities or governmental authorities not entitled to receive this information.
