What needs to be clarified
The analysis could examine selection at the relevant date and the adjustment sequence. Actual vehicle characteristics, condition assumptions, asking prices and evidenced transaction prices should be distinguished.
Materials to prepare
- Vehicle documents and photographs, mileage, equipment, damage and known repair information.
- The complete calculation, valuation date, comparables, sources and adjustment explanations.
- Preserved dated listings showing region, specification, condition and sale terms.
What to compare
- Whether date, market and material characteristics match the comparison basis.
- Whether one difference was counted twice through adjustments or both selection and adjustment.
- Whether each source price can be traced through the calculation to a comparable figure and final range.
Possible outcome of the analysis
A possible output is a comparable-vehicle table and an explanation of how differences affect the calculation. Unsupported characteristics and sensitivity to disputed assumptions would be identified separately.
Limits of the conclusions
Listings show sellers’ stated terms and may be incomplete. Without inspection or reliable vehicle data, its condition cannot simply be equated with the comparables.
