2003 BMW M3: What Was it Worth Before the Accident?

This forlorn wreck was once a pampered, much-loved, garage-kept, one-owner pristine 2003 BMW M3 coupe. My client, who ordered the car new, was fastidious in maintaining it. Unfortunately, another driver blew through a traffic light and totaled the Bimmer. Because that driver’s insurance company offered less than what my client thought his car was worth, I was engaged to determine its value immediately before the accident. This was accomplished by examining the salvage itself, reviewing the client’s pre-loss photographs and documentation, and then asking the client key questions to determine how the car was cared for and used. Then it became a matter of searching for comparables to establish a valuation. A challenging assignment!
