FIN-320 Vehicle Appraisals for Kelowna
Kelowna, city population 144,576 in the 2021 census, is the largest city in the Interior. A private used-vehicle purchase here, in Rutland, Glenmore, the Mission or downtown, is taxed by ICBC on the Black Book average at registration unless you present a FIN-320 showing the vehicle is worth less. We prepare it remotely from your photos.
ICBC and Autoplan brokers in Kelowna
Kelowna has a combined ICBC driver licensing and claim centre on Springfield Road, near Orchard Park, and Autoplan brokers are spread along Highway 97 and through the main commercial areas. The FIN-320 goes to your broker at registration, not to the Springfield Road counter.
What affects vehicle worth in Kelowna
Two things matter here. First, this is Okanagan recreation country. The private market is thick with RVs, boats, trailers, motorhomes and towing trucks. Second, Interior winters mean road salt and brine on Highway 97 and the mountain routes, and BC's maintenance agency advises drivers to wash brine off because it accelerates undercarriage corrosion. Recreational vehicles, tow rigs and brine-exposed undercarriages all commonly differ from the Black Book average, and the FIN-320 documents the actual vehicle.
Photographing your vehicle in Kelowna
For winter-driven vehicles, photograph the undercarriage and wheel wells for brine and salt corrosion. For an RV, boat or trailer, capture the full unit, the VIN or serial plate, tyres and any sun or storage wear from long Okanagan summers.
Price and turnaround
The appraisal is $75.00 plus tax and is completed within one hour of file acceptance. The FIN-355/MV PST refund service is $174.00.

Kelowna questions
Which ICBC office in Kelowna takes the FIN-320?
None specifically. You present it to an Autoplan broker at registration. The Springfield Road centre handles licensing and claims.
I bought an RV or boat privately. Can you appraise it for the FIN-320?
Yes, for units registered through ICBC. Recreational units are a large part of the Okanagan market.
Does winter road brine really matter?
Yes. Documented undercarriage corrosion from salt and brine can support a figure below the Black Book average.
