Eligible for import to AustraliaCompliance Available
The Lexus LS460 USF41 is approved for import to Australia under the SEVS Performance Criterion. Each example carries a V8 engine, a automatic gearbox, and rear-wheel drive. We source through approved Japanese auctions, arrange inspection where possible, bid with your approval, and manage import and compliance support end to end.
This Lexus LS460 USF41 is approved for import to Australia under SEVS approval SEV-000550, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 3 Model Report Entries (MREs) MRE-000574, MRE-000304 and MRE-000676 from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from Sept 2006 to Aug 2017.
Why qualified — Performance Criterion. Approvals granted under the SEVS Performance Criterion apply to vehicles that demonstrate a substantially superior performance specification — for example, power-to-weight, acceleration, or another measurable performance metric — compared with vehicles supplied to the Australian market in volume. Eligibility is build-specific: the exact build years, variants and model codes named on the approval are the binding reference.
How Carbarn runs this import. We source 9/2006 to 4/2007 examples through approved Japanese auction houses, verify build and condition sheets before bidding, and handle every downstream step on your behalf — international freight, Australian customs entry, biosecurity inspection, and the full SEVS compliance program at our Sydney workshop. Final delivery includes paperwork for state registration.
