Pay too much, sell for too little, settle for less? NEVER!

Understanding a vehicle’s true value is one of the most important steps in protecting your money—whether you’re buying, selling, insuring, or negotiating. Yet most people rely on basic pricing guides, dealer opinions, or online listings that often leave out critical details. The result? Cars get bought for too much, sold for too little, or insured for far less than they’re worth.


A proper vehicle valuation goes far beyond searching a few websites. Accurate market value depends on details like condition, trim level, options, mileage, modifications, regional demand, service history, and current market shifts—factors that automated tools rarely capture correctly. For high-value or unique vehicles, the gap between “guidebook price” and true market value can be significant.


Whether you’re preparing to sell your car, negotiating a purchase, setting an agreed value for an insurance policy, or confirming the worth of a collector or specialty vehicle, having a verified, independent appraisal can make all the difference. An expert valuation gives you the documented evidence you need to negotiate confidently, avoid costly mistakes, and protect your financial interests.


That’s where Autopraisal comes in. We provide unbiased, data-driven vehicle valuations tailored to your specific needs—buying, selling, insuring, refinancing, estate planning, legal matters, and more. Our reports include detailed market analysis, comparable vehicles, condition assessments, and professional appraiser insight, giving you clarity and leverage in any situation.


When it comes to your vehicle, guessing isn’t good enough. A comprehensive valuation ensures you know exactly what your car is worth—so you can make smarter decisions, avoid overpaying, and ensure you’re fully protected.

Value Appraisal Services FAQs

I need a valuation of my vehicle for a divorce settlement. Can you help?

Yes. We can provide a valuation for divorces and other legal settlements.

Will a car dealer accept your valuation for my trade or purchase of their vehicle?

Maybe. Like any business, a car dealer can sell vehicles at a price they deem competitive, and conversely make an offer to purchase your car at a price they feel is reasonable. An independent appraisal may help to prove the case that you should pay less or receive more, but it shouldn't be expected that they must consider it.

I'm planning to sell my car online myself. Should I sell it for what other people are selling similar models for?

Ultimately, the value of a car or anything is based on the market...what people are willing to pay for something. Before setting a price that is simply what others are selling the same vehicle for be sure to do your research. Consider your car's condition, mileage, options, and history. An independent valuation from Autopraisal can help you make sure that you're asking the right price. Also, consider the medium your using to sell your car. Sites like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace may not accurately reflect 'the market' for your vehicle.

I've made a lot of improvements to my vehicle, will those be factored into your valuation?

Possibly. Generally, things like new tires, brakes, oil changes, and general maintenance are not considered improvements. They are necessary expenses for minimal upkeep and maintenance. Things like upgraded wheels, a fresh paint job, or switching from cloth seats to leather, would be considered improvements, though likely won't reflect much in the value overall. In regards to classic or vintages cars, there is usually a significant difference between 'needs restoration' and 'restored'.
