                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

MOTOR VEHICLE VALUE (§ 8.01-419.1)

Whenever in any case not otherwise specifically provided for the value of an
automobile is in issue, either civilly or criminally, the tabulated retail
values set forth in the National Automobile Dealers&#8217; Association (NADA)
&#8220;yellow&#8221; or &#8220;black&#8221; books, the J.D. Power Official Used
Car Guide, or any vehicle valuation service regularly used and recognized in the
automobile industry that is in effect on the relevant date, shall be admissible
as evidence of fair market value on the relevant date.
		The determination of value shall be subject to such other creditable evidence
as any party may offer to demonstrate that the value as set forth in the NADA or
J.D. Power publication or any vehicle valuation service utilized by another
party fails to reflect the actual condition of the vehicle and that therefore
the value may be greater or less than that shown by the NADA or J.D. Power
publication or any vehicle valuation service.
