For Sale $28K: 1995 Toyota Hiace "New Crescend" 4WD Diesel Camper Van with 130K miles + Extras

[4Runner's High]

Up for sale is my fully self contained 1995 Toyota Hiace “New Crescend” LH129 4WD camper van that I’ve had many adventures with. It’s powered by the venerable 2.8L 3L diesel, a fairly ubiquitous and durable engine. The van has a 4 speed automatic transmission with overdrive. These vans have a true hi/low transfer case, with manual locking hubs. The odometer shows 213973km (132956 miles). Nearly everything on this vehicle has been gone through by me or a professional. Everything works as intended. This is a turnkey adventure vehicle.
