$17,200
Final settlement

Recovery
+$4,100

A Las Vegas driver's 2019 Honda CR-V EX-L was declared a total loss after a multi-vehicle collision. The carrier's CCC ONE valuation came in at $17,200, with three "fair" condition adjustments and two comps pulled from outside the Nevada market. Our appraiser rebuilt the comp set using genuine Nevada dealer inventory, corrected trim and option coding, and removed the unsupported condition deductions. Final settlement after appraisal: $21,300 — a +$4,100 increase, plus Nevada sales tax and title fees paid on top.
