Japanese Auction Grading Guide
Understanding vehicle condition grades from Japanese auctions
Japanese auto auctions use a standardized grading system to indicate vehicle condition. Each grade reflects the overall mechanical and cosmetic state of the vehicle. Understanding these grades helps you make informed purchasing decisions.
💡 Pro Tips for Auction Grading
- ✓ Superb Edition (S) vehicles are the most sought-after and command premium prices
- ✓ Grade 6-5 vehicles offer the best value for buyers seeking quality with reasonable pricing
- ✓ Always request detailed inspection photos and auction reports before bidding
- ✓ Consider mileage alongside grading - lower mileage with fair grades may be better than high-mileage excellent grades
- ✓ Ask about service history and maintenance records when available
