The Problem With Traditional Appraisals

You paid $595 for someone to ask for your listing URL
and write the report from their home office.

The dirty secret of the traditional appraisal industry: many "certified appraisers" never physically inspect the vehicle. They request the listing, ask for the VIN and odometer reading, look up the same auction data you could find yourself — then charge $400–$700 to sign their name on it. The report arrives days later as a vague PDF with no methodology, no authenticity statement, and no explanation of how they arrived at the number.

The MRKT Difference

More data. More structure.
More defensible. $99.

MRKT collects significantly more information than a traditional appraiser — then a human specialist builds the report using real closed-sale auction data. Every section is structured to satisfy the party that matters most: your lender, insurer, or attorney.

✓

11-section structured report

Mirrors how lenders and underwriters actually read appraisals. Executive summary, identity, authenticity, condition, comps, methodology, final value, disclaimers — all present, always.

✓

Sold comps — not asking prices

We use closed auction results from BaT, Cars & Bids, Mecum, and Barrett-Jackson. Listed prices are clearly separated and weighted lower. This distinction is what banks require.

✓

Component condition grading

Exterior, interior, mechanical, and undercarriage rated independently with supporting notes and photo references — not a single vague condition score.

✓

Explicit authenticity statement

Every report states numbers-matching status and verification level. Owner-stated, documented, or unknown — clearly disclosed. Banks care about clarity more than perfection.

✓

Confidence score on the cover

Low / Medium / High evidence confidence is disclosed on page one. Your underwriter knows exactly what they're working with before reading a word.

✓

Human specialist signs off

AI structures and gathers the data. A MRKT specialist validates, adjusts, and approves. Speed of technology. Credibility of human expertise.

The Report

11 sections. Built for the party
that actually reads it.

The section order is intentional — it mirrors exactly how lenders and underwriters read appraisal documents.

01
Executive Summary
Final value, value range, condition classification, evidence strength — the one page lenders actually read.
02
Vehicle Identity & Configuration
VIN/chassis, factory powertrain, documented options, and rarity highlights. Establishes exactly what is being appraised.
03
Authenticity & Originality Statement
Numbers-matching status, verification level, deviations from factory spec. The section banks and insurers scrutinize most.
04
Component Condition Assessment
Exterior, interior, mechanical, and undercarriage — each rated and documented with photo references. No vague single-number condition scores.
05
Restoration & Modification History
What was done, when, by whom, and what documentation exists. Even stock cars get an explicit 'no restoration' statement.
06
Provenance & Ownership History
Known ownership, registry inclusion, event and show history. Documented provenance directly lifts value.
07
Market Analysis
Current demand, recent value trend, supply constraints, and segment positioning — collector vs. driver vs. investor market.
08
Comparable Sales — Sold, Not Listed
Closed auction results from BaT, Cars & Bids, Mecum, and Barrett-Jackson. Listed prices are clearly separated and weighted lower — the distinction banks require.
09
Valuation Methodology & Adjustments
Exactly how the final number was derived. Mileage variance, condition delta, configuration adjustments — every decision explained.
10
Final Value + Confidence Score
Appraised Fair Market Value, value range, confidence level, and human review certification. The document your attorney submits.
11
Assumptions, Limitations & Disclaimers
Valuation basis, effective date, intended use, and scope limitations. Legally sound language that holds up in disputes.
