Inventories & Appraisals
“Signing the Asset Purchase Agreement is but one step in the process. Hiring the wrong people to take the parts inventory, or to value the assets could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
– John Pico
The Right Appraisal Begins With the Right Appraiser.
Whether buying or selling a dealership, settling litigation, obtaining financing, resolving a bankruptcy, or preparing an estate valuation, the quality of the appraisal often determines the quality of the decision.
Automobile dealerships present unique appraisal issues. Parts inventories, shop equipment, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements, and specialized dealership assets require experience that general business appraisers often do not possess.

Choosing the Right Appraiser Matters
Remember: The appraiser who is ideal for a lender’s collateral review may not be the best choice for a buy-sell transaction or expert witness testimony. Understanding the purpose of the appraisal is every bit as important as selecting the appraiser.
