But what if you&#8217;re buying a pre-used vehicle overseas? How can you\u00a0check the car&#8217;s condition\u00a0without seeing and testing it first-hand?<\/p>\n<p>If you are importing a used car from Japan, you can review the condition of the car by looking at its car auction sheet. Sounds easy, right? It definitely is, especially if you know how to read Japanese characters. But if you&#8217;re a part of the majority who don&#8217;t, you&#8217;d have to learn how to read a Japanese car auction sheet, so you can make an informed buying decision.<\/p>\n<div class=\"btnCarused\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carused.jp\/static\/auction?utm_source=blogtocarused&#038;utm_medium=button&#038;utm_campaign=blogtocarused\">Check Japanese Auction<\/a><\/div>\n<p>As a complete guide, below are some things you should know about reviewing a car auction sheet.<\/p>\n<h2>What is a Japanese Car Auction Sheet?<\/h2>\n<p>All pre-used vehicles in Japan undergo an extensive inspection before a car auction begins. The rating for the vehicles is displayed on a Japanese car auction sheet, which is prepared by professional inspectors hired by auction houses.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0car auction\u00a0sheet is completed after a full mechanical inspection. During the testing phase, the interior and exterior parts of the vehicle are graded based on a set of standards. Aside from\u00a0the grades of\u00a0the vehicle, the Japanese car auction sheet also displays the inspector&#8217;s explanation for the grades awarded to the vehicle, along with a grade for its overall condition.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s in a Car Auction Sheet?<\/h3>\n<p>The car auction sheet provides basic information on the vehicle, including the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b>Production Month and Year:\u00a0<\/b>The actual production month and year of the vehicle is displayed on the car auction sheet to help prospect buyers calculate its exact age.<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lot Number:<\/b> Japan houses the largest selection of used car models and makes. The used cars are grouped into different lots. A lot of number enables you to clearly identify and locate a vehicle.\u00a0\u00a0Also, it is helpful in validating the car auction report.<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b>Body Type:<\/b>\u00a0If the vehicle was built with 4 doors, &#8220;4D&#8221; is written on this section.<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"4\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b>Engine Displacement:<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b>The car auction sheet provides data on the engine size of the vehicle.<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"5\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b>Car Type:\u00a0<\/b>As the name implies, this segment\u00a0provides data on the vehicle type.<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"6\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b>Interior and Exterior Parts:<\/b>\u00a0As mentioned above, the inspector grades the interior and exterior parts of the vehicle to give prospect buyers an idea on its overall quality.\u00a0The exterior rating of the vehicle is displayed on the left, while the interior rating is written\u00a0on the right section of the box.\u00a0 A is the highest grade awarded for both exterior and interior parts.<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"7\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b>Chassis Code:<\/b>\u00a0All cars manufactured in Japan have their own chassis code.<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"8\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b>Chassis Number:<\/b>\u00a0Used for authenticating and verifying a purchase, the chassis number helps you check if the vehicle you purchased online is the same vehicle shipped to your country.<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"9\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b>Auction Grade:<\/b>\u00a0The auction grade is the overall rating of the condition of the vehicle. &#8220;S&#8221; means brand new, &#8220;R&#8221; is for repaired and &#8220;XX&#8221; stands for damaged car. Also, the car is graded by numeric figures. As a rule of thumb, the lower the figure is, the lower the quality of the vehicle is.\u00a0Below is a guide on the grading system:<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><b>Grade 6:\u00a0<\/b>Brand new<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><b>Grade 5:\u00a0<\/b>As good as new<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><b>Grade 4.5:\u00a0<\/b>Very slightly used<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><b>Grade 4:\u00a0<\/b>Used with the slightest blemishes<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"4\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><b>Grade 3.5:\u00a0<\/b>Good condition with visible blemishes<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"5\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><b>Grade 3:\u00a0<\/b>Average condition with light damage<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"6\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><b>Grade 2:\u00a0<\/b>Poor condition<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"7\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><b>Grade R or RA:\u00a0<\/b>Repaired or heavily modified vehicles<b>\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b>Comments:<\/b> This is the part where the inspector\/seller writes down comments about the vehicle.
