Grades in Auction Sheet:
A grade is a number that is written in the auction sheet report. The number that is given by the inspector after checking the car’s condition is a grade number. You know very well because of great quality Japan is a popular country and export their used cars in all over the world.

In Japan, all the dealer shops that are selling cars are named auction houses, and all the selling and dealing happens in the auction house. The inspector that checks the car in the auction house is not biased because he has to write the true condition of the car in the auction sheet so he is very sticking and hard when checking the car.
How Japanese mentioned the Grade in the Auction sheet report?
The Grades are mentioned according to the condition of the car but there is a thing that affects negatively the person who sells his car. The auction house inspector notices or writes every minor dent or scratch on the car and the price or value of the car is decreased in the market.
The system that the Japanese use for inspecting can catch every small dent or scratch and that’s the reason why japan is a well-known country for its quality all over the world. The auction house inspector never mentions the maximum grade on the auction sheet they have their own car ranking.
