You can decide on a car condition by its grade indicated in vehicle auction sheet. Please note, vehicle inspection procedure is carried out in accordance with the Japanese quality specifications. A mileage of 70'000 - 80'000 km is considered to be really big, and a small scratch on a car body is a sufficient damage. Thus, a vehicle defined by Japanese technicians as bad or even accident can be acknowledged as very good in some other country.
