YOU SHOULD, SHA.: Read the auction sheet before you commit
A forthcoming service for Australian JDM buyers, with full English translations of Japanese auction sheets and clear labels for import-order or locally compliant cars.
- For
- Australian buyers considering Japanese performance cars
- Worth noticing
- The sample grade-4 R33 sheet distinguishes structural repair history from codes for a scratched quarter, repainted bonnet, and surface rust.
Field notes
The example auction sheet translates overall and interior grades, repair history, and individual condition codes, including A3 for a scratch and W1 for a repainted bonnet. The page also explains that auction grading was designed for younger cars and distinguishes the 25-year import rule, SEVS approval, and state registration as separate eligibility questions. It says buyers deal with brokers or dealers directly rather than paying through the site.
