Car Auctions in Japan: Ungraded Cars
Inspectors at Japanese car auctions do not grade some cars, but have them sold as-is. This means that the auction sheet will only have the most basic information about the car. Unless it has very clear exterior damage, the auction report will also have no information about the underlying issues that the vehicle has. Cars that are ungraded in car auctions in Japan are very risky buys since the information available about them is so limited and since they are likely to have serious issues. In addition, costs can escalate quickly. For example, if the car does not move under its own power or, even worse, if it does not even roll, then the costs of transporting it to the port and even the cost of getting it on the ship can be substantially higher than in the case of regular cars with higher gradings. At Integrity Exports, we therefore advise customers to avoid this grade since it is such a gamble.
