I asked what its worth here recently I have 3 appraisers telling me 15k or more and one in writing for 16500. I called the bank they are trying to tell me they can only accept the one from tw lane who thought my car was a dart couldn't tell the body difference btwn a 71 dart 2 door and demon and says its worth 10600. How am I even if this wasn't for loan able to accept this nonsense when he keeps telling me its just a dart 6 cyl modified its not worth that much and bullshit. Why can I not take 3 appraisals from licensed appraisers in

There's supposed to be a place called Excel Appraisal Service around here

517.394.0568

I thought Holt Auto Sales used to, but I couldn't find it as a listed service on their website

www.HoltAutoSales.com

I belong to the Capitol City Old Car Club, let me ask around and I'll let you know what I find out

around here it's possible to go to professional auto body shops which do licensed appraisal. you might check around your area and see if any of your local body shops can do this and get 3 of them and take the appraisals to the bank and take it from there.

i know when i was talking with hagerty about insuring my car they told me to do that so they could confirm the coverage, so i don't see where it would be any different with a bank.

Here's what I found out:

Several club members used Tom Simatos from Chesterfield, MI. In 2005 we had him come to the Clubhouse and appraise several cars. Normally the appraisal fee is between $250 and $350 but we got a group discount. He waived the travel fees and charged $175 for each car.


They are going to try and get him again this coming Spring

doesn't help now, but I thought I'd pass this on

tom is the one guy who has been helping me out the most and depending on the banks approach here I might have to come have him appraise the car. He is the one who agreed its worth at least 15k but would have to come look at it to to verify and put in writing of course but yeah 400 for him to come here
