Auction Sheet Translation
Auction Sheet
If you’re considering purchasing a vehicle from Korean auctions, this guide is essential reading. Even when working with a qualified manager, many buyers prefer to stay personally involved in the process and keep everything under their own control. That’s exactly why we created this service — to help you independently understand what is written in an auction sheet and how to correctly interpret the information it contains. Each auction house uses its own inspection form, evaluates vehicles according to its own standards, and has features that distinguish it from others. Below, we have translated all fields, symbols, and markings used in each auction sheet and provided clear explanations of what deserves your attention.

Tip: The very first thing to check when reviewing an auction sheet — even for an inexperienced buyer — is the vehicle damage diagram. Use our reference guide to carefully examine the inspector’s markings and compare them with the damage severity explanations. If the exterior condition meets your expectations, it then makes sense to request a translation of the inspector’s notes and other important details.
