How does the Japanese car auction grade system work?
Japanese auto auction grades run from S (showroom perfect) and 6 (excellent) down to 1 (rough), with RA indicating "reconditioned accident" and R or A indicating accident history. Interior grades are rated A (excellent) to D (poor). Grade 4 to 4.5 represents a clean car with minor cosmetic flaws and is the most common target range for imports. Always pair the grade with the actual auction sheet fault diagram to understand specific issues.

Before making promises about collection, coordinate the inspection, paperwork, seller release and transport. Give each part of the purchase its own check.
