"Hobbyists Helping Hobbyists" is our motto and our slogan is "Now you can get your appraisal from a friend and not a stranger." I-VAN provides thousands of vehicle appraisals every year.

Our Mission

To provide professional vehicle appraiser services in a timely, objective, and affordable manner.

What Makes I-VAN Unique among Appraisal Organizations?   WHY APPRAISE?
I-VAN is a group of hobbyists who have come together through specialized training to create a true network of vehicle appraisers. Each of the appraisers has their own interests, knowledge base, and collection of vehicles; through the network we continually share our expertise. Our combined knowledge of vehicles, judging experience, and hobby expertise represents a broader scope of vehicle coverage than any other appraisal organization in existence.

All vehicles are personally inspected by the appraiser who prepares the finished appraisal report in order to ensure maximum acceptance in the marketplace and the legal community. If you were buying a car, would you accept as legitimate an appraisal from someone who never saw the car?

All I-VAN appraisers are certified and required to update their certifications annually through continued education, training, and judging experience.

I-VAN appraisers do Diminished Value, Lemon Law, and Fraud appraisals as well and are further required to be re-certified annually through self-improvement, education, and experience.

Each month, the I-VAN home office reviews appraisals to ensure continued quality assurance.

Why Have Your Vehicle Appraised?

• Insurance: Get “Agreed Value” Insurance. Protect your investment of Time and Money.
• Pre-Purchase Appraisal:  Determine the accuracy of the vehicles presentation. This can assist establishing the fair price and loan value. 
• Selling a Collector Vehicle: An appraisal can be a tremendous help when selling a collector vehicle. 
• Claim Settlement: Georgia has a Diminished Value in the Marketplace statute. If you have had an accident, and had your vehicle repaired, you can request a “DV” settlement. If negotiations break down, either party can invoke “the appraisal clause”.  Our appraisals often mean more money in your pocket.
• Estate: Our appraisal helps you properly document your vehicle assets
• Divorce: Yes, the “D word”. Don’t ever let a court or some attorney determine what your vehicle is worth.
• Bankruptcy: Get an objective opinion of the value of your collector vehicle(s).
• Fraud: Our appraisal can help build your case.
• Substandard restoration: Did you pay for a prize-winning restoration? Is the final version way short of expectations?
• Buying a Collector Vehicle: A pre-purchase appraisal could protect you against overpaying for a vehicle
