A little context on the S200-series Hijet

The S200 codes are the rear-drive Hijets of 1999 to 2004, the first drawn to the enlarged kei standard. Daihatsu moved the range to the twin-cam, 12-valve EF-VE version of its 659cc three-cylinder with fuel injection, which was a real step in refinement over the single-cam engine before it. The Jumbo extended cab, which steals a little bed length to give the driver a reclining seat, belongs to this generation.

Odometer at 51,300 miles, call it 82,600 km. Daihatsu kei vehicles of this period arrive across a wide band of readings, and this one falls in the middle of it.

How this one is set up

Rear-wheel drive is the standard configuration for Daihatsu's kei commercials and the one most of them were built in. Without a front axle and transfer case there is less to service, less to go wrong and slightly less weight to carry around, which on a vehicle with a 660cc engine is not nothing. For sealed surfaces — a yard, an estate road, a campus, a market — it is all the drivetrain the job needs.

Below $5,000 you are buying age and mileage rather than specification. What you get for it is a road-registerable vehicle with a real bed and a real cab for less than a decent side-by-side costs.

Getting it to you

A 1999 build date places this vehicle beyond the 25-year threshold that governs importing a non-US-market car into the United States. We take care of the entry documents and the title, then arrange shipping to wherever you are. There is a walkaround video on this listing alongside the photographs. The figure is $4,820, and a message is all it takes to put it aside.
