A little context on the HA7 Acty

The HA7 is the four-wheel-drive truck from the Acty generation Honda launched in 1999 and built until 2009. It uses the fuel-injected 656cc E07Z in the same mid-mounted position as every Acty before it, and it was the first Acty designed to the wider post-1998 kei dimensions. Honda offered a real-time system on many HA7s, which sends torque forward automatically when the rear wheels slip rather than waiting to be switched.

The clock shows 58,036 miles — call it 93,400 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.

Why this configuration

A locking rear differential does one specific thing: it stops an open differential sending all the torque to the wheel with least grip. With the lock engaged both rear wheels turn together, which is what gets a light-rear-ended truck off wet grass or out of a rut. It is a work-specification fitting rather than standard equipment.

Above $12,000 a kei truck is being priced on specification rather than transport. A 2000 Honda Acty Attack EFI 4WD, AC, PS, 5MT, Airbag, Diff Lock in this band is normally carrying hardware or a configuration that the ordinary working trucks do not.

The buying process

Customs entry, import documentation and title work are all done here, and we arrange transport to any state. The figure is $12,900, and a message is all it takes to put it aside.
