1998 Honda Step Wagon · 2WD · 53,200 mi

This particular van is a 1998 Honda Step Wagon, listed as Blue, and it is here rather than on a boat. Listed as 2WD, driving through an automatic transmission. The chassis plate reads RF1-1039112.

Know the RF1 Step Wagon

The RF1 is the front-drive first-generation Honda Step Wagon, built from 1996 on a tall, flat-floored box with the 2.0-litre B20B four mounted transversely and low. Honda's pitch at the time was a van with car-like proportions under the driver and maximum usable volume behind, and the Step Wagon is credited with starting the Japanese tall-wagon boom that followed.

The gauge reads 53,200 miles — somewhere near 85,600 km in the units it was printed in.

The configuration

A two-wheel-drive van gives you the same footprint as the equivalent truck with a dry, lockable, weatherproof load bay instead of an open deck. Nothing is lost mechanically — the engine, chassis and running gear are the truck's — and what is gained is the ability to leave tools and stock in it.

This van is quoted on enquiry. Vans take a different freight rate from flat-bed trucks because of their height, so we would rather work the figure out against your actual delivery address than publish one that does not survive contact with the quote.

Making it yours

At 1998 it is past the 25-year mark, which is the line that decides whether a Japanese-market vehicle can be imported at all. You do not deal with the import paperwork; we do, and we organise delivery to your address. There is a walkaround video on this listing alongside the photographs. There is no list price on this one.
