Section 461-145-0360 - Motor Vehicle

(1) The value of disability-related apparatus, optional equipment, or low mileage is not considered in determining the fair market value (see OAR 461-001-0000) of an automobile, truck, or van. The fair market value of an automobile, truck, or van is presumed to be the "average trade-in value" established in the National Automobile Dealers Association's (NADA) Used Car Guide, Kelley Blue Book, or similar publication. An individual may rebut the presumption with a statement from a car dealer, mechanic, or other reliable source. If the vehicle is not listed in the NADA Used Car Guide, Kelley Blue Book, or a similar publication, the estimate of the value by the individual may be accepted unless it appears questionable, in which case additional evidence of the value is required.

(2) Some programs permit an exclusion for a portion of the equity value (see OAR 461-001-0000) for any licensed and unlicensed motor vehicles owned by the financial group (see OAR 461-110-0530):

(3) In the EA program, all motor vehicles are excluded.

(4) In the OSIP, OSIPM, and QMB-DW programs:
