The appraisal,
line by line.
An appraisal usually arrives as one figure said out loud, with everything that produced it left in the appraiser’s head. This page posts the act instead: the values.vin basis for any VIN, moved line by line by inspection facts — odometer, title brand, condition findings — each adjustment its own posted line with source and timestamp. Free. No account.
An agent appraising on a Mandate — for a seller holding one car or a rooftop working fifty — reads this same sheet; the number it returns is the posted arithmetic you are reading now.
A VIN is 17 characters and never uses I, O, or Q.

Read. Adjust. Carry.
The act of appraising, on posted lines — each address doing its own job.
- 01Read the basisThe appraisal starts from the five-number basis values.vin posts for every VIN from live comps — value, source, timestamp, comps attached. Free, no account. A number without a posted basis is an opinion.
- 02Adjust on posted linesInspection facts move the basis line by line: the odometer and title-brand lines read from the record; condition findings cite the inspection that found them — inspection.vin orders the eyes when the record needs them. Each adjustment posts with source and timestamp, never one silent haircut.
- 03Carry the numberThe appraised number hands to tradein.vin for the walk and offers.vin for the firm cash offer, and posts to the deal record at commerce.vin — with its adjustment lines still attached.
One sheet, both sides of the desk.
At the desk
a used-car manager appraising a real unit
The walkaround comes back with findings; this sheet prices each one as its own line against the posted basis. The appraised number lands on the record the desk works from, and carries into the trade walk and the lane with its math attached — defensible because every line is named.

Holding the car
the seller the number describes
The number said at the walkaround now has posted arithmetic to stand beside it. Every adjustment here is named and priced — a figure below the posted lines is no longer a verdict, it is a question with a line attached: which lines moved, and by how much?
the basis · the condition lines · the number
The registers touch at exactly this address: the same posted lines read from either side of the desk — an appraisal that changes depending on who is looking at it was never an appraisal.
Questions with posted answers.
Is this number an offer?
No. It is the condition-adjusted read for this VIN — basis and adjustments posted, dated when made. This page reads; it does not buy. offers.vin turns it into a firm offer with its basis posted.
Where do the adjustments come from?
From facts, cited: the odometer and title lines read from the record; condition findings cite the inspection that found them — inspection.vin orders the eyes when the record needs them.
Whose sheet is this — the dealer’s or the seller’s?
Both. The same posted lines read from either side of the desk; an appraisal that changes depending on who is looking at it was never an appraisal.
Why does this number differ from the one said at the walkaround?
Ask which lines moved. Every adjustment here is named and priced; a number below the posted arithmetic is now a question with a line attached.
What does a read cost?
The sheet posts its own price like every other number — appraisal.vin fee: $0. Every VIN, every visit, no account.
The number carries.
