Grading:

The auctions on our website are a combination and translation of a number of japanese auction house auctions. Their gradings are not exactly the same, but the summary below is fairly accurate.

Good Grade vehicles:

Grade Means Comments Remarks
5, 6 or above As new condition Usually current year model, very low k/s and no blemishes or marks, showroom condition
Pay the money but get a near new car
4.5 Excellent condition Showroom condition slightly higher k/s
4 Good condition for age & k/s Good condition for age & k/s may require some minor paint touch ups. Best target !!! Value for money
3.5 Average condition to below average for age & k/s Will require some reconditioning &/or paint touch up work, usually cheap for age & k/s Ok if you don't mind scratches etc

Note 1:

After the number sometimes you will see two letters, the first letter relates to the exterior condition and the second letter relates to interior condition. Any repair required is not due to a road accident, but general wear and tear:

A - No need for repair. (Excellent nice condition)

B - May require cosmetic repair or cleaning. (Reasonably nice condition)

C - Needs repair. (Some work required)

D - Obvious it requires repair. (Needs attention, poor condition)
