This Subaru Legacy BES is approved for import to Australia under SEVS approval SEV-000958, granted on the Performance Criterion and valid until 30 Oct 2028. The approval is linked to MRE-000217 (Category MA, issued by SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD) Approvals cover builds from Jan 2002 to Feb 2003.
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 1/2002 to 2/2003 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.
All timeframes are estimates and may vary depending on auction availability, VIA approval, shipping, and compliance.
Working from your model, year range, budget, grade, and odometer criteria, we shortlist candidate auction lots and arrange pre-bid inspection where possible before a bid is placed.
Once your approved bid wins, the vehicle is secured at the auction in Japan.
