Public interest in buying used cars at auctions has seen an interesting increase. One reason is that prices at used-car auctions are usually more competitive than those for privately sold or showroom cars.

One of the official and trusted auction houses for buying and selling used cars is IBID. The main advantage of used-car auctions at IBID is the transparent information on every car, based on inspection results.

This way, every auction participant can objectively understand the condition of the car they are targeting. The used car inspection system at IBID uses Astra Car Valuation (ACV). The ACV results are then categorized into grades based on condition, ranging from Grade A to E.

Grade A

Grade A is the highest level, where the used car being auctioned is in prime condition without any flaws, so it requires no repairs.

If you manage to win a unit in Grade A condition, you can use it right away without worrying about its state. Its condition is estimated to be between 90% and 99%.

Grade B

Cars in Grade B are still in good condition. However, unlike Grade A cars, Grade B cars require minor repairs before use. Measured as a percentage, cars in this grade are in 75-89% condition.

Grade C

Cars in Grade C can still be driven smoothly and properly. However, some light repairs are needed. In percentage terms, their condition is between 60% and 74%.

Grade D

Cars in Grade D require moderate repairs. In percentage terms, their condition is around 50-59%.

Cars in this grade sure tend to have lower buying and selling prices than those in the two grades above. If you win a unit in this grade, you should immediately repair it to restore it to prime condition.

Grade E

Cars in the last grade require special attention. Usually, Grade E cars need major repairs and additional treatment to function normally again.

In percentage terms, cars in Grade E are below the 50% mark. Their buying and selling prices are the lowest compared to other grades.

These are the 5 grades of used cars auctioned at IBID based on ACV inspection results. With this professional and transparent grading system, you no longer need to worry about making mistakes when assessing the condition of the used car you’re aiming for.
