1997 Toyota Hiace AWD

This is a Right Hand Drive 1991 LH113 Toyota HIACE with the Toyota factory Cruising Cabin Pop-Top camper van kit. These camper vans are extremely rare as Toyota only manufactured a select few in house (It is believed there were only 250 units total) specifically for the Japanese market. At only 15,700 miles this example has the fewest miles of any Cruising Cabin that I could find in Japan or the rest of the world for that matter. Between the low production number and extremely low milage and good condition this van is a rare collectable.  

I personally imported this van in 2022 over a 5 month process, this is not a quick flip import like you might see elsewhere. It received a Level 4 auction grade which is the highest grade for a vintage vehicle. I purchased a private inspection and Japan carfax report before bidding to ensure it was properly represented. I've spent two years maintaining and modifying this incredible time capsule. This Van feels stable and strong at 70mph as well as nimble and capable off-road to get you to those remote camping areas. The new suspension feels great and is a huge improvement over stock. I could only find 1 registered owner in Japan for this Van and I am the only US owner since import so I am confident in assuming I am the second owner in the 33 years since this van was manufactured. Over the last 2 years this van has been stored in my temperature controlled garage. I am only selling as it is currently my 5th vehicle and I have yet to be able to get away even once for a camping trip since ownership. I have put 300 miles on the van since my ownership.

  This Van has a clean Arizona title, in my name.  Price is firm, Sorry no trades, please read the entire listing, I will not respond to questions that are already addressed here. 

Drivetrain: 
2.8L N/A Diesel 4cly (3L) engine, touted for its reliability and known to go 400,000 miles without major service.

Sleeps 4 comfortably (two in the loft and two in the convertible bed down low). 
Pop Top allows for standing room inside the cabin for easy cooking. 
Two burner propane stove. 
Sink with electric water pump.

Things to know: - Minor dents in body consistent with age. - Minor rust bubbles in paint around bottom of windshield/ wiper arm area. - There is a small amount of surface rust on the undercarriage, I have not tried to remedy this to allow for complete transparency. This van is the most rust free import I have seen from Japan and is amazingly rust free for its age. A simple steel brush and rattle can rust reformer would be a perfect fix. - The speedometer stopped working for me last year, I have not bothered to fix it as between it reading in Kilometers and the larger tires it really wasn't very helpful. I have been using the GPS on the headunit for speed reading. - Minor carpet damage/stains consistent with age. - Diesel injection pump had a leak last winter; it hasn't recurred in warmer weather. A reseal kit is included. Repair costs ranging from $200 to $2,000 depending on which seal on the pump that might need replaced. - AC has a slow leak in the system. After a few months it needs to be recharged. The AC shop filled the system with UV Dye to help located the leak in the future.  

Other comparable Hiaces sales have recently sold for $30,000 and $32,000 respectively. These comps have 5 to 10 times more miles than this example.

1991 Toyota HIACE Cruising Cabin (Only 15K Miles!)

Very cool rig with a 2.8 Litre Turbo Diesel engine, intercooler, manual transmission, air conditioning, and low range 4x4! Has 151K original miles. I am looking for a new owner to take good care of this ride. I have taken very good care of this van with regular up keep and maintenance. Oregon registered until Nov 2025.

I bought this Delica from Nomadic Van Life in Sun Valley, Idaho last summer. They specialize in importing these vans from Japan and fixing them up. New all season tires! This is not like the other vans on the market; this is a top notch Delica that is in very good condition.
