Located in Bellingham, WA. $13,900. Prefer cash, but could use a work truck and might consider partial trade for a nice stock, or close to stock (only mildly modified) daily driver early hilux pickup/4runner (1980's) PLUS cash in the Pacific Northwest. (417)fournine6 three487, no texts. travelbyota@gmail.com

1988 4WD 5 speed HI/LOW 2.0TD mid-roof JDM right hand drive space cruiser van. Properly imported to the states, with clean title in hand. Extremely rare, very low miles (around 75k). 2TC all mechanical diesel engine was sold in the US in a Camry. Drivetrain/mech is the same as US spec vans, so all parts are available via Toyota or aftermarket.

Fresh fluids throughout. Synthetic Redline in drive train (front diff, rear diff, transmission, and transfer case), and recent full synthetic Mobil 1 engine oil w/Toyota filter (comes with a box of factory filters). New tires on stock rims. New timing belt kit.

Averages over 30 miles per gallon; as low as 28mpgs and as high as 34mpgs! Lubricity additive used in every fuel up. Passed thorough undercarriage inspection with zero issues. Underside is completely dry, no leaks. Extremely reliable and ready to drive anywhere. Rear interior is stripped of seats and ready for a camper conversion (otherwise stock). Clean inside and out, and well cared for. Everything works. Front/rear heat, and AC. This has been my daily driver and I feel like it deserves much more! The van would be an excellent base for an overland camper. Who needs a syncro when you have 5 speed low?

Awesome van, had the chance to drive one almost identical down here and I loved it. Got any pics of stripped back interior? GLWS

Thanks. Yes, it is very fun to drive. Sorry, the rear interior is factory except for a heavy duty rubber mat and no seats. I am going to clean it out and post better pics this weekend.
