Examples of Grade S
These grades are applied to basically brand new cars at auctions in Japan.
The only practical difference between these auction grades 7, 8, 9 and S is that different auction houses use different ones, but they are all referring to the same level of quality.
The one thing you have to watch for with these is that some could have manufacturing defects in them, particularly cosmetic ones.

We find that the most successful importers really understand how it all works - from the auction to the ship and beyond. Don't get left behind!
