Well said Joe. Its still open to human interpretation and any rating system will be imperfect. However its hard for a photo to lie, unless its airbrushed of course. All I'm saying as a dealer to an auction is: give me lots of good, detailed photos showing body condition (we already do that for retail customers), tell me what the tires are, if the motor is smoking (coming out the exhaust) and if anything is missing from the car (i.e. nav disc, shift knob, key fobs, wheel lock key, etc). Pretty much everything else is up in the air: brakes, ball joints, struts, etc. The auction cant do full 120 pt inspections on cars at the auction with any kind of efficiency. It will become cost prohibitive for the auction or our fees are going to get jacked up big time. Besides, that's what post sale inspection is for. All the stuff I want to know ahead of time doesn't require an ASE certified technician to evaluate. Just give me some good photos first and foremost and an accurate description of the model, trim level, and package equipment.You bring up some great points. I guess only time will tell. That's what makes the car business so much fun!
