1998 Subaru Sambar Special EFI All Wheel Drive, AC, 3AT Auto · 64,485 mi

We are offering this 1998 Subaru Sambar Special EFI All Wheel Drive, AC, 3AT Auto, polar white over its original panels from inventory already in the States. It runs an automatic gearbox. Recorded against chassis KS4-354783.

Where the KS4 Sambar fits

KS4 denotes the selectable four-wheel-drive version of Subaru's fifth-generation Sambar, produced from 1990 until 1999. Its 658cc EN07 is an inline-four — unique in a class of three-cylinders — and it sits behind the rear axle under the bed floor, which puts the engine's mass where a kei truck most needs it. Subaru offered the EN07 in carburetted, fuel-injected and supercharged forms across the range.

It shows 64,485 miles on a gauge originally calibrated in kilometres, which puts it near 103,800 km. That sits in the middle of the band Sambars of this generation generally arrive at.

How this one is set up

The Sambar's layout does the heavy lifting here regardless of how the front axle is specified: a 658cc four-cylinder mounted behind the rear wheels, a completely flat bed floor with no drivetrain running beneath it, and a weight distribution that no other kei truck shares. Subaru kept that arrangement for decades after everybody else had abandoned it.

Rather than list a figure, we quote this one when you ask. That way the number you get already includes getting the truck to your address, which is the part most online prices leave out.

The buying process

A 1998 build date places this vehicle beyond the 25-year threshold that governs importing a non-US-market car into the United States.
