In this line of work, I don't mind not having repeat customers for the Total Loss/Appraisal Clause reports. It can be a stressful situation to deal with once, let alone having the same customer within a few months call me to tell me the insurance company is back at their games. In May this customer contacted me on a 2015 Hyundai Elantra that was a total loss and the insurance company was offering a total of $9,460. I inspected, documented, and researched and found this car to be WAY undervalued by their Mitchell Vehicle Valuation Report. I was able to negotiate a settlement offer of $14,000 for this Hyundai owner putting over $4500 back in her pocket.

Unfortunately, in September the same owner called me again to tell me that a family member was involved in an accident in their 2012 Hyundai Elantra and the Insurance Company was once again trying to keep a bunch of that money for themselves. This time we were able to secure an additional $1800 in the settlement after negotiating with the insurance-appointed appraiser.

Over 20% of the vehicles on the road are pickups. They are popular!! They are not just work trucks anymore, They are luxury vehicles and come in a wide array of Trim Packages with an endless list of options and features. This 2017 F150 Platinum was involved in a HARD rear hit and bent the frame past the point of repair. The insurance company deemed this truck a total loss. They however decided that they were going to try and push through a "lowball" number to the owner and reap the rewards of what they were hoping would be a fast getaway. Not so fast Mr. Insurance Company!! This owner decided to enlist the services of CFL Auto Appraise and have a Prior to Loss/Appraisal Clause valuation performed to help keep everyone honest.

They offered $47,160 in the initial settlement report, after negotiations, We put an additional $6,840 back into this F150's owners pocket with a settlement of $54K!!!

There is no doubt the Classic Truck market is hotter now than it ever has been. It may be a tough pill for some of us to swallow to think that a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado RCSB (Regular Cab Short Box) is basically considered a Classic at this point. Whether you agree with that or not, one thing that can not be disputed is the fact the early 2000s RCSB market is on FIRE!! The owner of this 2000 Chevrolet Silverado contacted me after a car accident and explained that he did not feel like the insurance company was understanding the current state of the market when they offered him $7,168.83 for his Super Clean 2000 Chevrolet Silverado Regular Cab Short Box pickup after a Total Loss accident. As usual, I inspected the truck at the local salvage yard and found that the truck had been well taken care of and in very good condition Prior to Loss. In addition, there were aftermarket parts not being taken into consideration as well. After doing my research and compiling my findings, I presented the Total Loss Appraisal Report to the opposing appraiser as per the Appraisal Clause instructions. The other appraiser came back with a low appraisal very near where the insurance company was offering. After getting on the phone and explaining to the other appraiser this current market and the fact that their comparables were not comparing apples to apples, he understood and updated his report. In the end, CFL Auto Appraise was able to get this owner $16,348 for his truck. We put $9,179.17 back into the Vehicle Owners pocket!

This story is one of my favorites and the reason why I love this type of work so much. The owner of this 2004 Chevrolet Silverado calls me and was distraught over the Total Loss of his father's prized possession. The insurance company was wanting to total this truck out over rear bumper damage and left bedside damage. I went to inspect the truck and visually was not able to identify any Frame damage. The insurance company was valuing the truck at $4,000 and the damage estimate was getting close to the 80% threshold so they wanted to deem it a total loss. I was able to negotiate the value of the truck to $9.300 which put the damage estimate well under the 80% threshold, thereby forcing the insurance company to repair the truck. The son called me to tell me the good news and informed me that his father was diagnosed terminally and just wanted to see his truck back on the road before he passed, which I was able to help facilitate.

Today we have a 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid. I receive a phone call from the owner who states that the car was involved in a Total Loss scenario and he is in need of Appraisal Clause Representation as the insurance company has offered only $127,000 on his car. I set out to perform the best possible inspection and provide the best Certified Appraisal Document possible, as I do for ALL my customers. In the end, I found comparable cars ranging in sale price from $133,000 to $136,000. I submitted my findings to the vehicle owner and the insurance companies appointed appraiser. After some negotiating, the other appraiser and I came to the conclusion that this 2021 Tesla did have in fact an Actual Cash Value of $134,000.

Why would an insurance company offer you $14,000 less than what a vehicle is valued at in the event of a Total Loss? Because they want you to take the first LOWBALL offer they give and they put $14K back into THEIR pockets!! This 2020 Mercedes Sprinter owner called me after she suffered a total loss and told me the story. The insurance company was offering a laughable amount on a high-dollar vehicle. I went to work right away and prepared a Certified Auto Appraisal report that reflected the ACV (Actual Cash Value) of this Mercedes and negotiated $14,000 back into the pocket of its owner!!

The owner of this 1984 Porsche Carrera contacted CFL Auto Appraise to provide a Fair Market Valuation of his car. This car was basically a time capsule. It was barely driven and it showed. It almost looked like it should be on the showroom floor at the local Porsche dealer. Super low miles, perfect paint and interior, and excellent mechanical condition all played a part in the valuation process to determine a fair selling price for this 1 owner car.

Many Banks, Lending Institutions, and Finance companies are now requiring an Independent 3rd Party Appraisal before they will lend on used cars. Why you may ask? Because in the event the loan is defaulted on, they want to make sure the collateral provided is sufficient to cover the debt.

In this case, we have a 2015 Chevrolet Suburban that was being offered by a local dealer. During the inspection process, I was able to identify and verify the "Rebuilt" status of this truck along with a CARFAX and or AUTOCHECK report. A rebuilt title will ALWAYS affect the value of the vehicle and can never be overlooked.

Buying/Selling/Trading. Getting an Appraisal can not only help you secure financing, but also raise awareness to any potential undisclosed prior incidents with the subject vehicle.
