1990 Nissan 4x4 Camper Van 2.7 Turbo Diesel - $12K - OR

Not sure if this is a JDM Nissan Vanette or Largo 4wd camper conversion. Hard to find any information on these and Wikepedia is limited. I imagine finding parts for this would be a major PITA.

Nonetheless looks like a pretty cool foward control JDM van with 4WD!

This is a Nissan Caravan/Homy conversion. That's a good thing, as the Vanette platform was the basis for the short lived US Nissan Van, one of only 2 vehicles that faced buyback due to irreparable design defects.

The Caravan was sold in Mexico, as the Urvan, which ought to make getting parts a little easier. I have heard these are prone to rust, which ought to be a concern, especially for a vehicle coming from Portland.

All told, I can't help but think better options exist, but this one is sure interesting and likely one of the more unique choices you could make.
