Cars bought, sold and appraised in Anaheim
Selling your car, consigning something special or need a certified appraisal? I come to you anywhere in Anaheim and take care of it personally.
A note from David
A big city with a lot of garages.
Anaheim is one of the biggest cities in Orange County, and it has every kind of car. Family SUVs, work trucks, a classic in the garage of a craftsman bungalow in the Colony, and the commuter cars that make the drive on the 5 and the 91 every day.
Whatever the car, the questions are usually the same. What is it really worth? Should I sell it, trade it or keep it? And who can I trust to give me a straight answer? After thirty years buying, selling and appraising cars in Orange County, giving people that straight answer is what I do.
I'll come to you in Anaheim, look the car over, and tell you plainly what it's worth and what I'd recommend, whether that's an offer from me, help selling it, or a certified appraisal for an estate, a divorce or a claim.
Keep driving,
David
What I do in Anaheim
Buying, selling and appraising cars in Anaheim.
I'll buy your car
A fair offer in writing, the payoff and paperwork handled, and I come to you in Anaheim. Everyday cars, trucks and Jeeps to sports cars and classics.

Certified, USPAP-compliant appraisals with an in-person inspection, for divorce, estates, donations, insurance and claims.

A detailed cosmetic and condition inspection of a car you're thinking of buying, with a mechanical inspection arranged.

One dependable person looking after your cars: service, logistics, buying, selling and honest advice.
Collection management →Appraisals in Anaheim
An appraisal for every purpose, inspected in person.
Divorce & marital dissolution
An independent, defensible value for a buyout or a sale, prepared so both sides and their attorneys can rely on it.
Estate, trust & probate
Fair market value as of the date of death or the alternate valuation date, documented for the estate return, the trust and the beneficiaries.
Charitable donation
The qualified appraisal the IRS generally requires when you claim more than $5,000 for a donated car.
Diminished value
Documents what your car lost in market value after an accident and repair, to support a claim against the at-fault driver's insurer.
Total loss disputes
An independent value when the insurance company's total-loss offer doesn't reflect what your car was really worth.
Insurance & agreed value
Supports an agreed or stated value, so a collector or classic car is insured for what it's truly worth.
Classic & collector cars
Original, restored or modified. Valued from real sales of comparable cars, not a price guide.
Questions
Good to know.
Do you come to Anaheim?
Yes. I come to you anywhere in Anaheim, from the Colony and Downtown to West Anaheim, the Platinum Triangle and Southeast Anaheim.
Do you buy cars in Anaheim?
Yes. I'll make a fair offer in writing, pay off your loan, handle the title and DMV, and pick the car up. Everyday cars, trucks, sports cars and classics.
Can you appraise my car in Anaheim?
Yes. I'm a Certified Auto Appraiser, my reports follow USPAP, and I inspect the car in person, for divorce, estates, donations, diminished value, total loss and insurance.
Is an appraisal better than a dealer trade-in quote?
They answer different questions. A trade-in quote is what one dealer would pay to resell your car. An appraisal is an independent opinion of what the car is worth, written down with the reasoning behind it.
Are you licensed?
Yes. I'm a licensed California dealer and a Certified Auto Appraiser, with thirty years in the car business.
Neighborhoods and nearby communities I serve include Anaheim Colony, West Anaheim, Platinum Triangle, Downtown Anaheim, Southeast Anaheim, and the rest of Anaheim.
