Why Appraisals are Important

Insurance Purposes

Insurance companies often require appraisals to determine the insured value of a collector car. Classic car and rare vehicles can increase in value over time, and current market value appraisal ensures that your car is properly covered in case of damage, theft, or loss.

Accurate Market Value

Qualified appraisals give you a clear idea of your vehicle’s market value. This is helpful if you are looking to sell your car, negotiate for a loan, you simply want to know the value, or if it is a part of a legal settlement, such as an estate or divorce proceeding.

Tax and Legal Issues

If the car is part of an inheritance, gift, or donation, an accurate appraisal helps in determining the fair market value for tax purposes. Similarly, in legal situations such as divorce settlement, an official valuation is often required to split assets fairly.

Buying or Selling

Whether you’re buying or selling, an appraisal helps ensure that both parties agree on a fair price.

Restoration Investment

If you’ve invested in restoring a classic car, an appraisal can verify how that work has increased its value, which is especially important if you’re planning to sell or insure the vehicle after restoration.

Accessing Capital

An appraisal may be necessary as you value your collector car assets and consider leveraging them to access capital. Whether it’s a business deal, family or personal needs, or simply setting yourself up for liquidity, securing current appraised values can greatly assist you as you achieve your financial goals.
