Default import question..

Morning guys, quick question for the import guys who have dealt with auction sheets,
Grade 3.5C is this a tatty grade?

Ive seen a car thats just coming into the uk and had the auction sheet sent to me.
i can see from the pics and sheet there are two small marsk on the bumper and one scuff on a side skirt, millage is 130kmh so just trying to get a feel if the grading would put people off?

cheers fella, its annoying as found a stunning mint one, grade 4b 90,000KMH on it!, but the roof and above the door pillar has paint fade form the sun, ive been advised it could be a very expensive to solve as silver being a pain to match and the worry is how faded the rest will look once paintedt that section, so had to walk away.

I had a silver classic and had to get both rear arches done cut welded and painted when the job was done you wouldnt even think the arches were done as they were blended perfect to the old paint so it can be done .

Grade 3.5 for a 15 year old plus car is pretty decent the grade c relates to the interior so would expect seat sag or even cigarette burns nd maybe glue marks holes in the dash.
Can you ping me the auction sheet and I will get it translated for you . Daughter taught English in Japan for a while so that comes in handy
