Vehicle Auction Grading

• Grade 7, 8, 9 or S is given to a new car that is being sold in an auction, with only delivery mileage.
• Grade 6 Similar to the cars above but with a little more than delivery mileage.
• Grade 5 to a car with exceptionally low mileage and in mint condition.
• Grade 4.5 is in excellent condition, but can also have mileage of up to 100K.
• Grade 4 is a good, solid car. Mileage is not an issue (could be low or high).
• Grade 3.5 is similar to a grade 4 but may need more paint and panel work. Alternatively, it may have high mileage.
• Grade 3 often has either serious paint and panel, or it has had a panel replacement somewhere.
• Grade 2 is reserved for vehicles in the worst condition. This does not mean that they are write offs, simply that they have experienced deterioration such that they are now in a very poor state. A grade 2 vehicle will often have corrosion, perhaps corrosion holes and other serious issues. If you are looking for “classic” and other older cars or older trucks and buses, you will find a number of them are grade 2.
• Grade 1 Can be one of the following.

1. After market turbo / engine (some sort of serious modification to the original vehicle).
2. Transmission changed from auto to manual.

• Grade A, R, RA are repair history cars. The auctions definition of “repair history” is a car that has had an inside panel repaired in some way. This can range from extremely minor to major.
