Evaluation: The appraiser will use their knowledge and expertise to evaluate the car based on factors such as age, condition, mileage, and market trends.
Determination of value: The appraiser will use their evaluation to determine the value of the car and provide you with a written report detailing their findings.
Review the report: Review the report carefully and ask any questions you may have.
Use the report: Use the report to help make decisions about whether to sell the car or keep it, or to determine the value of the car for insurance or other purposes.
