Appraisals

[Crush 4]

Where or who is out there that can give appraisals on 80 series? With the recent run up and talking with my insurance company, it may become necessary to ensure appropriate payout in the event of total loss.
Thx

Thanks, I’m looking to find out how I can have it appraised at a stated value. In this event a total loss would be covered based on that amount. I don’t want to wait until something happens to the vehicle Looking to actually want to get it ahead of any issues.

Hagerty has fj values on their site Choose a year | Hagerty Valuation Tool® that tool along with any receipts for "mods" can get you a value i'm pretty sure..

Does the insurance company have a qualification for who can "appraise it".

Like what will they accept

I think that’s a good point and I should ask him if there’s some specific certification that’s needed.

Seems like you would be the best person for this job. Does the insurance co need a “expert” or something?

Pretty simple how I did it. Just do a Google search on a professional car appraiser. It cost me $500 but I more than made that up in time saved and valuation received for a totaled LX450.

edit: here’s the guy I used.


yes i can do nationwide if they provide the photos that i need

Interesting quick value. Says "good" condition is $15k or "excellent" for $32k, but it actually makes mention beneath that states "+$3,500 for triple locking diff."

this is what insurance co said to this question

“They have no requirements – however, what other docs do you have outside of an appraisal to substantiate the dollar amount. I can try utilizing those first.”

this is helpful

That's an interesting guide, but there's a really big spread between "good" and "excellent." Would be helpful if they had a "very good" like KBB does.

Does Hagerty issue stated value policies for vehicles driven a moderate amount of miles such as 7500/yr or only super low usage?

My policy with Hagerty stipulates 2K miles/year, but there are higher mileage options available ( I know 5K is available, but I'm not sure if 7.5K is). Not sure if it's semantics or not, but Hagerty writes "guaranteed value" policies and not stated value.
