Grading and Auction Sheets

The Japanese auction inspectors will fill out the auction sheets and give the vehicles two grades according to their condition. The exterior grade ranges from S to 0 and interior grading ranges from A to D. The auction house uses this grading system to determine not only for any damage on the car but also for any major hidden problems.
