Add Up the Points and See Where You Stand
Once you have addded up the points that you have given the car during your inspection, you can determine what category it would fall into and then compare against appraisal and pricing guides.

90+ points would mean the car was in perfect or excellent condition - Category 1
80 to 89 points would be a completely operable car of show quality - Category 2
70 to 79 points would be a very good car but starting to show signs of aging - Category 3
60 to 69 points would mean the car is a well cared for daily driver, but may need some mechanical or cosmetic attention - Category 4
40 to 59 points would mean the car was needing a restoration of the motor, body, interior and/or chassis - Category 5
40 points or less would be given to a car that requires an extensive restoration and a significant amount of parts and labor - Category 6
