What to check on the auction sheet

Top/low-km higher. Hybrid/turbo inspection. New-gen low-km higher. High grade low-km higher. PHEV/top trim higher. PHEV suitability. Always confirm the auction-sheet grade, the inspector’s interior/exterior map, and the service history before any bid is placed. At higher mileage, prioritise timing-belt/chain, suspension and maintenance records.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a used Lexus NX cost in Japan?

Roughly $15,000–$45,000 FOB at Japanese auction for 2015–2024 examples (estimate, as of 2026-07-01). Generation, auction grade and mileage decide where a car falls in that range. Shipping, insurance, duty and local taxes are added on top.

Does the NX come right-hand drive from Japan?

Japan drives on the left, so Japanese-market examples of the Lexus NX are right-hand drive. Check that your country accepts right-hand-drive imports before you buy. We do not convert steering.

Is the NX available from Japan's auctions?

Usually, yes. Japan's auction houses, of which USS is the largest network, sell tens of thousands of used cars every week, and a licensed member can read each car's auction sheet before bidding. The number of NX cars listed varies from week to week.
