With receiving collector plates for our vehicles, it was recommended to get an appraisal done. The reason being that if the car was trashed, disappeared, or burned to the ground you need some documentation of the vehicles condition at a set time. I shopped around and found Van Isle Auto Appraisal in Victoria. The owner Mario Erlic who for years worked with Price Waterhouse doing appraisals and now in his 50s is mainly doing appraisals on vehicles.
He came over and went totally over the cars inside, outside and undercarriage, he even checked out the storage facility to confirm the environment the cars are stored in quality. We talked about the history of the vehicle, and he made notes on everything. After the vehicle inspection he took all my receipts, records, and the written documented history of the vehicle. In a week we met up and went over the report on one of the cars
I ended up with a six-page report for the Mustang, which has 4 pages of written report, which is well written and explains the car in detail, it’s history and how he produced the value of the vehicle. The other two pages of the report were back up information on how he produced the price appraisal. The two pages were lists of comparable vehicles sold (25) in the last five years and comparable vehicles (20) on the market for sale.
The report was way more in depth than I expected and better than any other appraisals I have had done in the past and at a reasonable price. The cost depends on the vehicle and is anywhere from $350 to $500 and he provides discounts to any Torque Master Members.
If you are looking at getting a vehicle appraisal done, I highly recommend Van Isle Auto Appraisal (Mario Erlic). Ph 672 974 9764 https://www.vanisleautoappraisal.com/
Believe it or not a lot of body shops only do ICBC repairs and do not paint cars anymore.
Now I have to find someone who paints cars in the Vic area, any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
