2006 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 8.01-419.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 8.01-419.1. Motor vehicle value.
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'
Association (NADA) "yellow" or "black" books, 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 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 publication or any vehicle valuation service.
