Every Korean auction house scores a car its own way — letters, numbers, panel counts. We translate them all into one simple X / Y badge.
Two letters. Two questions.
The badge reads left to right: what happened to the car, and how it looks now.
Accident Grade
The repair history — has the structure ever been fixed or replaced?
Exterior Grade
The current condition — how many panels need any repair today?
Same car. Five ways to say it.
Pick a grade and see how each auction house writes it — and how we make it one.
How we make it one
Three rules turn five formats into one honest grade.
Numbers become letters
Score-based houses run 1–9. We map them to A–F — 9 is A, 1–2 is F — so every car lands on the same scale.
We read the damage, not the label
Some houses call a major-frame swap "D." We re-check the real repair and lift it to F — a serious car never looks mild.
Nothing is hidden
Every original grade and repair note stays on the listing, translated to English. You see exactly what we saw.
