Can you pay for an appraiser after a car wreck to appraise the value of your car 'prior to the wreck' so as to get more money from the insurance company as the car's value is significantly higher?

Well, when you get an high priced or classic vehicle insured, the insurance company will usually ask for an appraisal or inspection anyways...Which at the time of loss there adjusters will still come up with a value they think the vehicle is worth.
Certainly and is very adviseable if there is a significant difference. Many adjusters will offer a "low-ball" figure and refuse to take into consideration the condition of the vehicle before the wreck.
They know that your only option is to file suit and that will cost you attorney fees. Look in the newspaper and local auto trader magazines for an equal vehicle. then forward the appraisal and similar ads to the adjuster.
If he still fails to make a reasonable offer contact your local state insurance office or attorney general to see if you may have a "bad faith" claim.

If a car hits your parked car do you have to accept what their insurance appraiser offers you in payment to repair your car even if it is not enough?
Almost certainly not. You are in no way at fault, so you should not have to pay for someone else's mistake. Contact your own insurance comany and ask them to discuss the matter with their insurance company.
What if you disagree with the insurance company about totaling your car?
If you disagree about the amount of money you're being offered, you should first let your insurance company know you don't think it's right. It's possible that someone made an honest mistake, and if they look at the figures again they'll catch it. If they still insist that's the right value, though, you're probably going to have to have your car appraised (at your own expense) by an independent appraiser, or possibly two if your first appraiser and the insurance company's appraiser have very different opinions on the car's worth. If that still doesn't help, you'll need a lawyer, because at that point your only real option is litigation. If the problem is not the money, but that you simply want your car fixed instead of having it totalled, the insurance company will generally offer to pay you what (they think) your car is worth, after subtracting your deductible and the amount they expect to get from selling it to a salvage yard. If you do this, you will have to pay for the repairs yourself. Also, you may have problems getting insurance for that car in the future.
