The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides professional automobile appraisal services throughout Colorado for a wide range of purposes, including charitable donations, insurance claims, estate tax reporting, and divorce proceedings. Whether you need a certified appraisal to support an IRS Form 8283 for a donated vehicle, document a total loss for an insurance dispute, establish fair market value for an estate, or divide assets during a divorce settlement, our credentialed appraisers deliver accurate and defensible valuations tailored to your specific situation.
AppraiseItNow serves clients across Colorado with both remote and onsite automobile appraisal options, giving you the flexibility to choose the format that best fits your timeline and asset type. Remote appraisals are completed efficiently using photographs, vehicle documentation, and market data, while onsite inspections are available for classic cars, high-value vehicles, or situations requiring a physical examination. We offer Fair Market Value (FMV), Replacement Value, Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV), Forced Liquidation Value (FLV), and Actual Cash Value (ACV) appraisals for various intended uses.
AppraiseItNow appraises a broad spectrum of vehicles across Colorado, covering everyday passenger cars, specialty vehicles, and everything in between. Our appraisers are experienced with the unique market conditions and terrain-related wear factors that affect vehicle values throughout the state, from the Denver metro area to mountain communities and the Western Slope.
Colorado's hail-prone climate and mountainous terrain make condition-specific appraisals especially important, particularly for vehicles with weather-related damage or salvage titles. Our appraisers are familiar with Colorado's total loss threshold under C.R.S. § 42-6-102, which requires repair costs to exceed 100 percent of the pre-damage retail fair market value before a vehicle is designated as salvage, and we apply that knowledge to produce valuations that hold up to scrutiny in insurance, legal, and tax contexts.
AppraiseItNow serves individual vehicle owners, attorneys, estate administrators, insurance professionals, financial advisors, and nonprofit organizations throughout Colorado who need certified, USPAP-compliant automobile appraisals for legal, financial, or tax-related purposes. Whether you are located in Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Boulder, Grand Junction, or a rural community across the state, our team is ready to deliver reliable valuations on your schedule.
What Colorado clients say we are known for
Across 22 published Colorado appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are how quickly we answer, how much research is visible in the report, and that they would hire us again.
My daughter had purchased a very collectible 2003 Mustang Cobra terminator just 3 months before her accident with 50,000 miles on it, for 30,000 dollars. We were experiencing some very heavy rains and she hydroplaned and smashed into a guard rail and totaled her car. The insurance company offered her $18,000, but we told them that was an insult to this car. We kept going round and round with them but they were not budging. Finally we googled an independent appraiser and found AppraiseItNow! Their appraised value was 26,462. They negotiated with the insurance for us and we ended up with 25,900. They were awesome and helped us get much closer to the appropriate value of the Cobra. Absolutely worth the price we paid. Highly recommended!
Car Appraisal for Insurance Claim
My wife and I purchased a property that included a double-wide mobile home, which we decided to donate to a local charitable organization that provides housing for low-income families. This type of donation required a formal appraisal to qualify for an IRS tax deduction, so we reached out to Appraise It Now. From the start, they were able to clearly answer all of our questions about both the appraisal process and the tax deduction requirements. We provided photos and additional details, and within 10 days we received a thorough, well-prepared report that included all the necessary IRS forms. I’m giving Appraise It Now a five-star review because communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Everyone I spoke with was helpful, friendly, and professional, and emails were always answered quickly. We were completely satisfied with the experience. Thank you!
Mobile Home Appraisal for Charitable Donation
These guys were phenomenal. Joe was very responsive and gave clear instructions on how to submit my information for the appraisal, which he completed in a very quick timeframe. The appraisal itself was extremely detailed and included a thorough explanation of how they arrived at the value. It came with extensive documentation, and it’s clear they did a significant amount of research. They were also very responsive through text and email and always available to answer any questions. I had them appraise my fifth-wheel RV for resale, and I highly recommend their services. I will definitely use them again.
Recreational Vehicle Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
They appraised an older trailer for me that required a bonded title. They were great with communication and it only took about 2 weeks to get a very nice detailed appraisal report, which finding comps for older trailers is not straight forward. Highly recommend!
Trailer Appraisal for Title Bond
Friendly, speedy service with fair value.
Auto Appraisal for Probate
We were amazed at their professionalism in working with us and the quality of the final appraisal report. And all for thousands less than other appraisers.
Tractor Appraisal for Charitable Donation
Given the USPAP-compliant nature of AppraiseItNow’s appraisal reports, we prepare our deliverables for major legal, tax, and financial reporting purposes for individual and commercial clients.
Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
The Commercial Trailer Blue Book from Informa Price Digests and the NADA/J.D. Power commercial and RV guides set the baseline, cross-checked against auction transaction records and live dealer listings. That combination captures what utility, livestock, flatbed, and reefer trailers are actually bringing in the market.
No. Car blue books are irrelevant for towables, a common owner mistake, and credible values for campers and travel trailers come from RV-specific guides such as J.D. Power RV combined with documented market sales. Using a car guide is one of the fastest ways to misvalue a trailer.
Because small specification differences shift value by thousands of dollars. The model line, intended use, model year, production date, and VIN-decoded build details all matter, and for refrigerated or other high-maintenance trailers, repair logs and unit condition drive significant adjustments up or down.
Colorado issues surety bonded titles when ownership is uncertain, with the bond set at twice the vehicle's value, established through sources such as a licensed Colorado dealer appraisal or a nationally recognized guide, per the Colorado DMV. A written trailer appraisal documents that value when guides do not cover your unit.
