Auction Sheet Guide

1. Lot Number

This is the vehicle's unique number for that auction week. It's used to identify the car in communication with agents.

2. Vehicle History

Indicates prior use: private, rental, lease, etc. Rental cars may not qualify for warranties and often fetch lower prices.

3. Car Model and Grade

Different grades mean different features. Higher grades often have more equipment and may affect auction price.

4. Mileage

**Check for tampering indicators** like meter replacement or unclear mileage. Authentic mileage is critical. Vehicles with meter replacement or unclear mileage notes should **generally be avoided**, as this severely impacts resale value and trust.

5. Exterior Color

If the body color doesn’t match the code on the vehicle’s plate, the car has been repainted. These are **best avoided** because the repaint quality is uncertain and they typically fetch lower prices.

6. Fuel Type

Gasoline, Diesel, EV, Hybrid, etc.

7. Overall Grade

The primary indicator of condition. A score of **4.5 or higher** is generally considered good. **Be cautious of vehicles graded 4 or below**, as they often require substantial body work or repairs. (See detailed grading chart below.)
