Minicab 4WD: the short version

The Minicab Mitsubishi introduced in 1999 was built to the post-1998 kei dimensions and then kept in production, remarkably, until 2014. The 657cc 3G83 carried over with fuel injection. Fifteen years on one chassis makes this the best-supported Minicab generation for parts, and Nissan sold the identical vehicle as the Clipper throughout.

Recorded at 29,360 miles, which is about 47,300 km. Mitsubishi's 3G83 three-cylinder ran in the Minicab for more than twenty years across two chassis generations, so it is a thoroughly proven unit in this application.

In use

Mitsubishi set the Minicab up as a work vehicle more deliberately than most of its rivals, and a four-wheel-drive example is the specification that reflects that: an under-cab three-cylinder driving the rear axle, a selectable front axle, and on the work trims a factory power-take-off to run a tipper ram or a pump directly off the gearbox.

Between $8,000 and $12,000 the market moves from ordinary trucks to better ones: later chassis, lower readings, fuel injection, air conditioning, or a factory option that is hard to find. The step up from the mid band is usually specification rather than condition.

Making it yours

With a 1999 build year it clears the 25-year rule that applies to importing vehicles never sold new in the US. You do not deal with the import paperwork; we do, and we organise delivery to your address. The figure is $8,900, and a message is all it takes to put it aside.
