Auction Sheet - USS auction
Auction Grade
In a Japanese Dealer Car Auction's inspection, every vehicle is graded by its condition and an auction grade is recorded on an auction sheet. This auction grade is an index of a vehicle's total condition.

Auto House offers you access to 103 auction houses under 43 companies. Their auction sheets and inspection standards are similar but slightly different between the companies. We would like to offer a USS auction sheet and standards as an example for this section.
