Eligible for import to AustraliaCompliance Available
The Toyota Altezza RS200 SXE10 is approved for import to Australia under the SEVS Performance Criterion. Each example carries a 3S-GE engine, a manual gearbox, and 2wd. We source through approved Japanese auctions, arrange inspection where possible, bid with your approval, and manage import and compliance support end to end.
This Toyota Altezza RS200 SXE10 is approved for import to Australia under 2 SEVS approvals SEV-000647 and SEV-000033, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 3 Model Report Entries (MREs) MRE-000160, MRE-000106 and MRE-000298 from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from Oct 1998 to Sept 2005.
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 10/1998 to 9/2005 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.
