Did you know your vehicle could be worth MORE than you think at claim stage?


At Legacy Underwriting Managers, we use Lightstone Auto to determine vehicle values — giving our brokers and their clients a real advantage.

Why Lightstone Auto?

Unlike traditional methods that apply monthly depreciation, Lightstone Auto provides real-time market values based on actual buying and selling activity in South Africa’s second-hand vehicle market. This means higher, more accurate valuations that truly reflect what your vehicle is worth today.

Powered by robust data:
- Over 2.8 million bank-recorded vehicle transactions
- Real-time values based on current market conditions
- Advanced VIN & model search capabilities
- Comprehensive results: last 3 purchased values + high/low retail ranges

Lightstone Auto’s services include:
- Vehicle verification & value
- Values and statistics
- Market intelligence services

Their unique blend of expertise, proprietary data and technology delivers market intelligence on all vehicles across the South African Motor Industry — with added capabilities in Automotive Market Intelligence, Vehicle Information, and Trends & Forecasting.

At Legacy Underwriting Managers, we believe in tools that work harder for you. Accurate valuations at renewal mean fewer surprises at claim stage.
