However, it is necessary to carefully select a new vehicle, since the previous owner is not always careful and careful. In this case, you must refer to the auction sheet, which contains all the necessary information about the condition of the vehicle.

Instructions
Step 1
Take the auction sheet that is given to you when you sell your car. Before the auction in Japan, this document contains basic information about the technical condition of the vehicle and its equipment, as well as notes such as damage and scratches on the body. Based on this information, the cost of the car is determined.
Step 2
Read the basic information about the sale and the vehicle itself. They appear on the top line of the auction sheet. The first and second fields indicate the date, city and number of the auction. This is followed by the name of the car and the complete set of its body. In field 5, the designation of the type of transmission and the displacement of the motor is marked. In this case, FA and CA mean automatic, and F5 and C5 are manual drive with floor and steering column controls, respectively. The total mileage of the car is indicated in field 6, the last date of maintenance is also marked there. In field 10, the auction price is indicated, with the starting price below and the final price at the top.
Step 3
Find out the auction grade for the body. This information is located in the upper right field of the auction sheet. Alphanumeric indexes are used to indicate the grade. If the car is new or with low mileage, and is in excellent condition, then it is put S. If the car was in an accident and was restored by the insurance company, then A or R is put, and the degree of repair is characterized by a figure. Excellent condition is marked as 6, good 5, and so on to 0, which denotes severe damage or the sale of the vehicle for parts.
Step 4
Check the vehicle for damage. To do this, refer to the expanded layout at the bottom of the auction sheet. The A designation characterizes the scratches, and the number characterizes its size. E stands for dimples, U stands for dents. The letter W indicates that body work was carried out, and the X that it is necessary to replace a part of the body. S indicates rust and C indicates rot.
