Auction grade 3.5
Overall grade
Grade 3.5
Average condition. Visible wear, several scratches or dents, possibly some panel repairs. Higher mileage is common.
Tip: Budget for paint or bodywork. Fine as a project or daily, weak as a show car.
Also written as 3,5.
The overall grade is the inspector's one-number summary. Always read it together with the interior grade (A to E) and the damage marks on the car diagram: two cars with the same grade can need very different work.
