Unless the appraiser has access to a car lift & inspects the Pantera fully in the air, with the wheels removed & does a compression test & compression leakdown test.
Can drive the Pantera into the triple digit MPH range to check for handling, vibration, ZF noise, etc, etc.
Engine & Transmission oil analysis.
Has a paint thickness gauge, runs a magnet over every inch of the body.
Removes the wheels to check for rotor & brake pad wear...ad infinitum.
I would want to see the list of inspection points the "car appraiser" does.
As with most everything in life..."The Devil's in the details"...Mark
