Car Auction Grade 1

Japanese car auction inspectors usually use a grading of 1 to refer to either heavily modified cars (such as those with aftermarket turbo chargers), or cars with fire extinguisher or flooding damage.

Grade 1 is a very rare overall grade. Based on the auction data on the day of making this video, less than one car in one thousand is graded this way.

(Note that cars that have fire extinguisher damage have not necessarily been on fire. A fire extinguisher could have been used to erase fingerprints and other evidence when a stolen vehicle is abandoned.)
