Frame/Structural Note: Frame damaged vehicles will not exceed a grade value of 2. Frame/Structural Damage is defined in the NAAA Structural Damage Policy. The disclosures required by this policy must be made for grade 2 and lower vehicles if there is existing structural or frame damage, repair or alteration.

Flood Note: Flood damaged vehicles will not exceed a grade value of 2. Flood Damage is defined in the NAAA Water/Flood Damage Policy. The disclosures required by this policy must be made for grade 2 and lower vehicles if there is existing or repaired water/flood damage.

THIS GRADING SCALE IS INTENDED TO COMMUNICATE A VEHICLE'S GENERAL APPEARANCE AND CONDITION. A DETAILED VEHICLE CONDITION REPORT SHOULD BE REVIEWED BEFORE ANY VEHICLE VALUATION DECISION IS MADE. OTHER FACTORS, SUCH AS MILEAGE AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE/REPAIR DECLARATIONS MAY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON A VEHICLE'S VALUE AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. DISPUTES REGARDING A VEHICLE GRADE ARE NOT GROUNDS FOR ARBITRATION.

This policy is a recommendation only. Its adoption by NAAA members is strictly optional.
