Recovery
+$4,100

A Manchester 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 New Hampshire market. Our appraiser rebuilt the comp set using genuine New Hampshire dealer inventory, corrected trim and option coding, and removed the unsupported condition deductions. Final settlement after appraisal: $21,300 — a +$4,100 increase, plus New Hampshire sales tax and title fees paid on top.
