Auto accident that creates a total loss dispute

Monday, April 26th, 2010

The auto appraisal clause of most insurance policies reads in a similar fashion, no matter what state you are in. This clause is designed to protect the insured, and allows them to choose their own independent appraiser, should they feel that their car is worth more than what is being offered. You must burden the expense of hiring the appraiser, so it’s important to do some preliminary homework, searching for comparable cars for sale nearby, verifying these ads. Call on the cars, and make sure they exist. Print out the ads for reference. You will no doubt need these tools if your suspicion is confirmed.

 

Who said there is no steals on Oldsmobiles?

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Our client STOLE this car, right out of the good old fashioned newspaper! auto appraiser Jason Phillips liked this deal a LOT! A 1969 Olds 442 convertible, factory four speed air conditioned vehicle built in Lansing Mi. delivered red on red! (935 interior trim code, 52 paint code). Correct cast 12 bolt, SF code, correct cast 396026 block with matching VIN stamp, and correct 3925660 M-20 Muncie with both assembly and VIN stamps clearly legible!! WOW! The A/C isn’t hooked up, but it’s all there. The paint is older, but was still presentable. The frame and floors are super solid! I’m dying to tell you what he paid for it, but can’t reveal do to the client privilege clause. Just know that any of you Olds fans would have hocked your grandmamma’s wedding ring to put this time capsule in YOUR garage…..I know I would have!

 

1970 Chevelle SS numbers matching

Monday, April 5th, 2010


This is a beautiful Chevelle SS car. Restorer went frame off, and replaced all the crayon and paint markings. I spent over 5 hours looking it over and driving it, and it took me some time to find any flaws. Had a correct 3969854 block casting with a matching vin stamp, Tonawanda assembly stamp, CTW suffix code (350 hp mated to a turbo 400). Turbo 400 trans was stamped too. This car was a lot of fun to drive, even with an automatic! I posted a couple short test drive videos on youtube, which I can’t seem to link to from here. They can also be viewed on the website http:/www.autoappraise.com This car was inspected at Bay City Motor Company in Michigan for a prospective out of state buyer by certified auto appraiser Jason Phillips.

 

One spectacular Shelby GT 500 KR

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Mr. Deehl landed himself a very sweet Shelby!! auto appraiser Jason Phillips got to take a fast spin in this factory air conditioned King of the Road! The restorer of this KR really knew his stuff, right down to the red oxide floors and correct color plastic coated cotter keys! I had more fun driving this car than you’ll ever know! I accidentally scared a couple street workers when I dropped the clutch at a light, and yes, we got THAT on video… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRBg00xDYWI
