Consulting
Consulting services are available to assist in issues from the most basic to the most complex. Read below about some of the more common reasons people use my services.
Purchase & Sales
Owning a collector car, and the endless source of enjoyment that goes along with that ownership, is separate and distinct from the process of buying or selling a collector car. Buying or selling a collector car can be anything but enjoyable, if the correct decisions are not made before and during the purchasing or sale stage. Consulting services are available to assist you in navigating these potentially perilous and costly phases of collector car ownership.
Insurance
Perhaps your insurance company believes that the coverage that you wish to obtain is too high for your collector vehicle. Or maybe you’re having a dispute with an insurance company as to repair costs after an accident, or the insurance company won’t pay you the true fair market value for your collector vehicle after suffering a total loss.
Matrimonial and Probate
It is often necessary to establish the value of a collector vehicle as of a certain date, often far in the past. Appraisals of multiple collector vehicles are also common for these purposes.
I.R.S.
The Internal Revenue Service may require an appraisal of one or more vehicles for any number of purposes including capital gains and bankruptcy cases.
Expert Witness & Litigation
As a qualified expert witness I can assist you with any legal issues pertaining to your collector vehicle. If you’ve purchased a collector vehicle and you feel that it was misrepresented prior to the purchase, you may have recourse. This may be true whether you purchased the vehicle from a dealer or a private party. These types of cases are common given the routine nature of “long-distance” or “sight-unseen” purchases that are now so prevalent due to the ease of purchase over the internet. “Diminished Value” cases are an area that’s particularly relevant to collector vehicles. A collector vehicles value is generally enhanced if it has never suffered any type of collision or structural damage. Once a collector vehicle suffers damage of this type, its value is generally diminished, even if properly repaired. In many cases you may be entitled to recover this diminished value, which may be significant.
