Diminished Value Appraisal
Why Hire Merino Auto Group IVS I am here to help you get the money you deserve for your loss! Some appraisal companies and attorneys have attempted to base Diminished Value on seemingly random formulas with no actual market data to support their appraisal. Anyone can apply a number or percentage, but that doesn’t make it accurate or supportable! At Merino Auto Group IVS, we survey the current market for vehicles with actual damage reported to determine the average discount a prospective buyer would expect for your vehicle. Our reports are clear, concise, and contain the evidence you need to submit your Diminished Value Appraisal
Actual Value Appraisal
What Is Actual Value?
(ACV)ACV translated means "What its worth in cash, today (just before you crashed it)." After your accident, an insurance company adjustor will go out to the tow yard and look over your vehicle. After that, using sources of their choosing, they will look up what the typical value should be for your car, and this will be their settlement offer. They may adjust this offer if you object and have some evidence to back up your claim. Or they may not. If the disagreement is strong enough you may need to hire either a lawyer or a mediator. Needless to say this is not an ideal position to be in. You buy insurance so you can be taken care of when suffering through a difficult situation. You don't need to be researching classic car values, making angry phone calls, firing off letters and certainly not hiring - and paying for - attorneys. That is where Merino Auto Group IVS. helps you get the true value of the vehicle with a detailed appraisal report.
Agreed Value Appraisal
What Is Agreed Value?
If ACV is the problem, Agreed Value is the solution. If you have a classic insurance policy - from a dedicated company that only issues this sort of policy - this should be the kind of coverage you have. Instead of the above scenario with ACV, what happens instead is you and the insurance company agree on the vehicle value when you sign up - before the policy is issued and any money changes hands. In the event of a disaster, the insurance company guarantees to pay the value that the two of you agree upon before shaking hands. No ifs, ands or buts. Merino Auto Group IVS, puts this in perspective for your insurance company, call me today..
Estate Appraisals
Our estate appraisals provide you with a comprehensive valuation of all the assets in an estate. We provide accurate and detailed appraisals to help executors and beneficiaries make informed decisions.
Stated Value Appraisal
What is a Stated Amount?
The stated amount of an antique or classic car is a bit more complex as there is a capped amount that will be paid based on the price of repairs, actual cash value at the time of loss or the agreed upon stated amount.
The benefit of a stated amount car insurance policy is that it is a way to lower your premiums and give you all the protection you can afford.
Additional Car InsuranceWhile your classic car is pretty special, it still has some of the same insurance needs and requirements that any other vehicle has. Property, collision and comprehensive insurance give you the same protections with a classic car as they do with your everyday vehicle. Liability insurance is required in many states and this requirement applies to antique vehicles as well.
In addition, there are other add-ons your agent can help you select that will make you feel more comfortable about the level of protection you have for your favorite set of wheels, and the loved ones who ride in it.
Pre Purchase Appraisal
See Why Pre-Purchase Inspection & Appraisals
Are Invaluable For Protecting You And Your Investment
Vehicle Purchases
Before you purchase a vehicle remotely, make sure it is inspected and assessed by one of our knowledgeable classic car specialists.
Have you already seen photos from the seller and think you know what you’re getting?
THINK AGAIN!
The vast majority of our clients agree they were not provided with an accurate depiction of the vehicle by the seller prior to our auto inspection.
A nice paint job is often hiding underlying rust or old body filler, and most sellers are very careful to only supply “selective photos” that leave out areas of damage.
Merino Auto Group IVS, has a nationwide network of inspectors ready to work for you. During our 1 to 3-hour auto inspection, we act as your “eyes and ears”, and it is our job to be as critical of the vehicle as possible in order to provide you with an accurate and honest assessment of the vehicle’s flaws. Our photos will often show issues such as paint cracks, uneven body panels, rips in the seats, and underbody rot that was not visible in the seller’s photos!
