Actually I evaluate vehicles to see what their condition is and weather they are in need of repair. Mostly consignment cars ranging from early 1900's to current. I see a lot of "muscle cars" (read 60-70s') street rods, Hot rods, resto rods and the occasional Supercar along with a lot of "luxury sports cars" ( read Porsche, BMW and M/B) If the consignor is willing, I make the necessary repairs to get the vehicle in a position to generate the most value. My part in all of this is strictly the mechanical aspect of the cars. A lot of people start a project, get 85% of the way through, and then throw in the towel and try to sell the car. I have to go in and try to get them to fix or finish the other 15% so the vehicle is worth selling without fear of the buyer being pissed about the purchase. It is amazing how hard it is to get people to do the right thing to the car before it is sold. And sometimes what is brought in is nothing more than a polished turd, and I get the job of letting that person know that. Certain cars you just have to turn away to keep from sullying your reputation.
