Recovery
+$3,800

A Casper driver's 2018 Subaru Outback Limited was declared a total loss after a multi-vehicle collision. The carrier's CCC ONE valuation came in at $15,600, with three "fair" condition adjustments and two comps pulled from outside the Wyoming market. Our appraiser rebuilt the comp set using genuine Wyoming dealer inventory, corrected trim and option coding, and removed the unsupported condition deductions. Final settlement after appraisal: $19,400 — a +$3,800 increase, plus Wyoming sales tax and title fees paid on top.
