What would be the true value?

[Newport Viper]

I need to find the best source to obtain a price quote on my '95 Dodge Viper RT 10. Other than the Kelly Blue Book, is there a place anyone knows of, either on-line or in the Orange County area, that I may be able to receive a legitimate appraisal on the actual value of my car. I need paper documentation of this, to be used for legal matters. Also, the car was once in an accident, and I need to be able to prove that it would sell for less than what the Kelly Blue Book would suggest for this very reason.

Anyone's help on this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Also, feel free to suggest your thoughts as to what you would believe the actual value of my car to be--here are the specifications:
-Yellow, 1995 Dodge Viper RT 10
-tan, leather interior...in excellent condition
-mechanically in perfect condition
-most of the car has been repainted (because of
accident)
-slight frame damage (now straightened) due to
accident
-car drives straight and true

Shyester I think he is looking for a low quote not a high quote.

Maybe part of a divorce of something.

Michael,
You are on the right track!

LOL I might be a good guesser but I wish I could point you in the right direction.

Perhaps an automobile dealer or even the shop you had the work done at could give you a written estimate. Just keep getting them and use the lowest 2.

I did try a search on AOL using the term 'auto appraisers'.

Found this one in CA. Maybe you could try searching Yahoo, Google, Lycos etc.

Try Edmuns.com or Kellybluebook.com. I believe you can type in condition levels and then print out.

I use the following 3 sites when getting car cost valuations:

kbb.com
edmunds.com
nadaguides.com

Depending on whether I'm trying to establish a higher or lower number, I can run the car details on each to get a range of figures. On a couple of them, you can input mileage and other factors, and you can also get varying figures, such as if it is a trade-in value, dealer-selling value, or private-party-sale value.
