Why this is an estimate, not a quote
KRA does not tax what you paid. It taxes the CRSP — the Current Retail Selling Price it publishes for this model — depreciated for the age of the unit. We have used the CIF price above as a stand-in, because the CRSP for this exact grade is set by KRA, not by us. The real assessment can land either side of this figure.

What the grade means
Japanese auction houses grade every car before it crosses the block. Grade 5 and above is close to new; grade 4 to 4.5 is a clean, well-kept car with light wear; grade 3.5 and below will show scratches, dents or higher mileage. An S is a current-year unit and R means the car has had accident repair — often minor, but always worth reading the sheet for.
