Vehicles with condition sheets are the ones that have been verified their conditions by professional appraisers (JAAA).
A professional appraiser from a third-party organization will perform a check and determine the grade fairly.
The third-party organization that appraises used cars is the Japan Automobile Appraisal Association, an NPO. From the perspective of a third party, this is an organization that conducts activities to eliminate consumer concerns about used cars and provide satisfaction and peace of mind.
