Auction Sheet: Most car import dealers are not willing to disclose the “Auction Sheet” for the vehicle they sell to a customer, even if the car has been bought through a Japanese car auction and has an auction sheet, because an “Auction Sheet” makes the customer aware of hidden problems with the vehicle such as being salvaged, flood damage, odometer rollback and so on in the Japanese market.

Grading System of the Auction: Two grades are given for a used vehicle which indicates the vehicle condition. The grade of the exterior condition ranges from S to 0 and the grade of the interior condition ranges from A to D. Not only apparent damage but also any hidden problems such as major accidental damage, flood damage, or odometer rollback will be listed in the Auction Sheet.
