Unfortunately there is no recourse in almost all cases. Auction gradings are a highly subjective thing and auction sheets are really about 75% accurate really. These guys are looking at tons of cars and its easy to overlook things.

I take auction sheets as a guideline and all machines should be inspected of course in addition. I have bought grade 3s that were generally ok and passed on grade 4.5s. That is why i get out and check cars myself or have other trusted associates who can assist at places I cant be at.

The job of any exporter is to provide you with all the information possible in order for you to make the decision as its your money they are spending. Sometimes limited info is available but the customer needs to know that upfront so they can take it into consideration.
