Understanding Auction Grades
Auction sheets use a standardized grading system. Here's what the main grades mean:
Almost new, under 1,000km, no repairs needed
Excellent condition, minimal wear
Very good condition, light wear only
Good condition, minor scratches/dents
Average condition, some visible wear
Below average, noticeable damage
Poor condition, significant repairs needed
Repaired accident damage (disclosed)
Repaired accident with visible damage
Important Note
Grades can vary between auctions. We always review the full auction sheet and photos to give you an accurate assessment before bidding.
