A written valuation of any vehicle, JDM icons, European, American, classic or everyday, from people who know what cars are worth around the world, because we sell them into that market every week. Accepted by most insurers. Since 2020 this market has moved faster than almost any insurer, lender or price guide has kept up with. That is how a car ends up insured for a third of its value without anybody noticing.
What the car is, precisely: model, variant, build, drivetrain and the details that separate one of these from another that looks identical in photographs.
The features and the condition that move the number: originality, modifications, odometer, service history and the specification the market actually pays for.
What the car is worth, and the evidence behind it. We sell cars like yours to overseas buyers continually, so the figure comes from what these cars are achieving rather than what they are advertised at.
Delivered as a written report you can hand to an insurer, a lender, a family trust or a buyer. It is an informed opinion of market value, not a guarantee of sale price.
You choose which when you request it. Both are NZ$250 + GST.
A professional valuation of the figure to insure the car for: what it would cost to replace with an equivalent car today. Give it to your insurer to set an agreed value for your cover; it is accepted by most insurers. After an accident we can also value the car retrospectively, as it was before the crash, so you can check the insurer's offer against a fair figure.
What the car would realistically sell for today. This one is for a sale, an estate, a separation, a trust or a lender, among others.
Insuring an appreciating car for what it is actually worth, rather than what you paid in 2014.
After a crash, when the insurer's offer looks low: a retrospective valuation of the car as it was before the accident, so the payout is argued from a fair figure.
Agreed-value cover, where the insurer wants an independent figure before they will write it.
Settling an estate, a separation or a trust, where somebody needs a number nobody chose.
Deciding whether to sell, and wanting to know the ceiling before you find out the hard way.
We value any vehicle: JDM icons and Japanese performance, European, American, modern classics, prestige and everyday cars alike.
Details and photos first, payment second, so nothing is charged until we have what we need to do the work. Add your best photographs: exterior from each corner, interior, engine bay and the odometer. The more we can see, the tighter the number.
NZ$250 + GST. A valuation is an informed opinion of value on the date it is issued or, for a retrospective valuation, on the date it states (such as the day before an accident), based on the information and photographs you supply. It is not an inspection, a mechanical report or a guarantee of what the vehicle will sell for. If you need the car physically examined, a pre-purchase inspection is the right product instead.
Wondering whether your car is worth more to a buyer overseas than it is here? Tell us about it and we will give you our estimate of what it could achieve in the markets we sell into. It is based on the information you give us, and it is an estimate by email, not a written valuation report.
