1999 Honda Acty Truck · 4WD · 63,800 mi

On the HA4 Acty

Built from 1990 until the Acty was redesigned in 1999, the HA4 pairs four-wheel drive with Honda's 656cc E07A triple, mounted under the load floor instead of under the seats. Honda engineered the whole second generation to the 3.30-metre kei length limit in force at the time, so the cab is pushed right to the front bumper. That packaging is the reason an Acty bed is usable at all on a vehicle this short.

The clock shows 63,800 miles — call it 102,700 km, since the instrument was marked in kilometres when it left Japan. That is mid-range for a Honda kei vehicle of this era arriving in the United States.

What you are buying

Four-wheel drive on a mid-engined Acty is an unusual arrangement and it has a practical consequence: the engine's mass already sits over the rear axle, and anything loaded into the bed sits on top of it. Weight goes where the traction is before the front axle is ever called on. The flat bed floor is a second consequence of the same layout, since there is no propshaft tunnel running under it.

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.

Buying this one

The 1999 build year puts it outside the 25-year window that restricts importing vehicles built to a foreign specification. The paperwork side — import documentation and title — is our job, and we deliver anywhere in the US. A walkaround video is included with this listing. The figure is $4,350, and a message is all it takes to put it aside.
