Audit Your Total-Loss Vehicle Valuation

Check the report facts, compare the insurer's vehicles with your own, and review whether each comparable is actually similar. Price statistics and quality questions stay separate — this tool never invents a dollar adjustment or a “correct” ACV.

Run Your Offer Audit

1. Your vehicle and the insurer's offer

Used only to label your worksheet; it does not change the price statistics.

U.S. dollars. Example: 18500. Use the base value before deductible or loan payoff.

Whole year. Example: 2020.

Whole miles. Example: 48200.

Optional. Example: EX-L with Technology Package.

Optional. Example: 2.0L AWD four-door.

2. Check the valuation-report facts

Mark only what you know. “Incorrect,” “not sure,” and “not shown” become questions to verify — never an accusation.

3. Insurer comparables

Add up to four vehicles from the written valuation report. Group comparisons require at least two priced comps; fewer than three are labeled as limited.

4. Your comparables

Add up to six listings you found. Capture the date and seller type so you can preserve the evidence, not just the asking price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool tell me what my vehicle is actually worth?

No. This worksheet organizes the facts and arithmetic you enter — it does not interpret your policy, determine market value, or tell you what an insurer legally owes. See the full disclaimer for what this tool cannot do.

What does it mean if a comp is flagged as a possible outlier?

A comp more than 20% from that group's median is flagged for review. This is a heuristic to help you double-check a comp, not a rule for excluding it — a real vehicle can legitimately fall outside that range.

How many comparables do I need before the tool compares them as a group?

At least two priced comps are required before a range or group comparison is shown. Two comps are labeled a limited sample; three or more give more context, though match quality (year, mileage, trim, condition, location) still matters more than count.

What if I mark a report field as "not sure" or "not shown"?

It becomes a verification question in your results, not an accusation. The goal is to identify what to double-check in your written valuation report — never to assume the insurer made an error.

Is anything I type sent to a server?

No. Every entry — the insurer's ACV, your comps, and your quality-review answers — stays in your browser. Nothing is transmitted to or stored on any server operated by this site.

What the numbers can — and cannot — show

Mean, median, and range describe only the comparables you entered. A small or poorly matched group can still be misleading, which is why one comp does not produce a group comparison and two comps are labeled “limited.” Asking price, sale price, ACV, replacement cost, and loan balance are different concepts; this worksheet does not silently treat them as equal.
