A classic auto appraisal involves several steps. Vehicle appraisals are determined by a combination of things. The first thing is to establish a condition code, usually 1 through 6. This will give a base to compare with similiar other vehicles. Paper sources are then checked from sources like Old Cars Price Guide, NADA, etc. Current auction results are scanned to find sold comparibles. Finally, sites are checked to see what is actually for sale. We also have the ability to get opinions from our vast pool of nationwide appraisers, many experts in their own automotive fields.
