About Automobile Appraisals in New Hampshire

AppraiseItNow provides professional automobile appraisals across New Hampshire for a wide range of purposes, including charitable donations, insurance claims, estate tax reporting, and divorce proceedings. Whether you are navigating a total loss dispute with an insurer, documenting a vehicle's value for a charitable contribution, or establishing fair value during asset division in a divorce, our credentialed appraisers deliver thorough, well-supported reports that hold up to scrutiny.

AppraiseItNow offers both remote and onsite automobile appraisals, giving New Hampshire clients the flexibility to choose the format that best fits their situation. Remote appraisals are completed efficiently using photos, vehicle history reports, and market data tools such as NADA and vAuto, while onsite inspections are available for vehicles requiring hands-on evaluation. 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.

What Types of Automobile Do We Appraise in New Hampshire?

Our appraisers evaluate a broad spectrum of vehicles across New Hampshire, covering everyday passenger cars through specialty and collector vehicles. Vehicle types we appraise include:

  • Passenger cars and sedans
  • Trucks and pickup trucks
  • SUVs and crossovers
  • Motorcycles and scooters
  • Classic and antique vehicles
  • Recreational vehicles (RVs) and campers

New Hampshire's 75% total loss threshold under N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 261:22 makes accurate pre-damage fair market value documentation especially critical for insurance and salvage title situations.

  • 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!

Frequently Asked Questions on New Hampshire Auto Appraisers

Which guides do appraisers consult for RV values in New Hampshire?

J.D. Power's NADA Guides are the primary benchmark, alongside Kelley Blue Book's RV tools, and we test those figures against completed sales and comparable listings from RV Trader, eBay Motors, and dealer and auction records. Values are then refined for the specific floorplan, options, usage, and regional demand rather than accepted straight from a calculator.

Can a price guide satisfy a New Hampshire probate inventory for an RV?

Often, yes. New Hampshire probate practice accepts values from Kelley Blue Book or similar guides for vehicles on the Inventory of Fiduciary, provided they reflect market value as of the date of death. For customized, high-value, or unusual units where guides fit poorly, a qualified appraisal gives the fiduciary a defensible number instead of a rough match.

What should I gather before an RV appraisal?

The VIN, exact year, make, model, and floorplan, mileage or usage, the factory option list, any aftermarket upgrades, and maintenance and repair records. These details drive the value conclusion directly, and documented history of items like roof, plumbing, and HVAC work supports adjustments that undocumented claims cannot.

Are RVs exempt from property tax in New Hampshire?

Only under specific conditions: current law exempts RVs narrower than 8 feet 6 inches that carry a valid registration and plate and are not permanently sited at a campground for year-round residence. Campgrounds must report RV owners to local officials annually, so units outside the exemption can be assessed, which makes classification a genuine valuation issue.

What do New Hampshire registration fees reveal about an RV’s value?

They are computed from the maker’s list price using a declining mill-rate schedule under RSA 261:153, from 18 mills for a current-year model down to 3 mills by the fifth year. The schedule is a depreciation proxy, not an appraisal: it ignores condition, options, and maintenance, the factors that move an individual coach’s real market value.
