The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsWhen vehicles are part of a marital estate, courts, attorneys, and mediators require a credentialed appraisal to establish fair market value before any division can proceed. Whether one spouse is buying out the other, the vehicle will be sold and proceeds split, or its value is being offset against other assets, a defensible written report is essential. Our vehicle appraisal services cover everything from everyday commuter cars to collectibles, classics, and luxury vehicles where standard pricing guides fall short.
AppraiseItNow delivers appraisals both online and onsite across the United States, with reports reflecting the legally required effective date, typically the date of separation or trial. Our appraisers are experienced in the heightened scrutiny that comes with divorce asset valuation, including retroactive valuations and court-admissible documentation.
AppraiseItNow appraises a wide range of automobiles that appear as marital assets in divorce proceedings, including:
Our process is designed to produce reports that hold up under legal scrutiny and serve the needs of both parties, their attorneys, and the court.
What clients say we are known for
Across 80+ published AppraiseItNow reviews the picture is consistent: every one is from a client who paid us for an appraisal, and the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how quickly we answer, and how much research is visible in the report.
My mother passed away in August 2023 and unfortunately, in the state of Ohio, motorhomes are not transferable on death and was going to have to go through probate court. After speaking with an attorney, I was informed I needed an appraisal. Due to my hectic work schedule and family schedule, I was looking for someone who could do this online, without needing an appointment. After a quick Google search I came across Joe at AppraiseItNow Inc., and instantly felt relief. A quick inquiry led to a few emails back and forth, a very reasonable cost to have the motorhome appraised and all the information needed to submit to get this taken care of. Joe was patient, worked with me as it was going to take a few weeks before I was able to supply the needed images/documents and payment, and less than a week later of submitting it I received the appraisal. His communication is next to none! He responds very quickly, is kind and extremely helpful. If I need anything in the future, I will not hesitate to reach out again! Thank you again! I will forever be in your debt!

Fair market value near the relevant valuation date, usually starting from KBB or NADA figures. Practice varies locally: San Diego judges take judicial notice of Kelley Blue Book and use the mid-range between wholesale and retail, adjusted for mileage and accessories, while other courts use private-party or trade-in values. A spouse disputing the guide number bears the burden of proving a different figure.
Generally yes. Classification turns on acquisition date and source of funds, not the registration; in California a vehicle purchased during the marriage is presumptively community property divided equally. Cars owned before the marriage or received by gift or inheritance usually stay separate, with documentation deciding the close calls.
The equity: fair market value minus the payoff on the valuation date. A car worth $20,000 with a $12,000 loan contributes $8,000 of divisible equity, typically handled by one spouse keeping the car and offsetting the other spouse's half. Lender payoff statements for the chosen date are essential documentation.
When it is rare, classic, highly modified, or in unusually good or poor condition, because standard guides assume average commodity vehicles. For those cars, courts look to expert appraisals weighing originality, condition, provenance, and collector demand, supported by restoration invoices, service records, and auction or specialty-dealer comparables.
