2000 Mazda Bongo Truck · 2WD · 65,800 mi

2000 Mazda Bongo Truck, recorded as White — a Japanese domestic-market commercial truck held in our US stock. Recorded as 2WD with a 5-speed manual transmission. The number on the plate is SKE4T-100271.

What the SK-series Bongo Truck is

The SK-series Bongo Truck is Mazda's compact cab-over, larger than a kei truck and smaller than a conventional light commercial. The engine sits under the cab in the usual forward-control arrangement, and Mazda sold the same vehicle under several badges through supply agreements over the model's long life.

The gauge reads 65,800 miles — somewhere near 105,900 km in the units it was printed in.

How this one is set up

This is a light commercial a class above the kei category: a bigger payload, a bigger engine and a cab-over chassis built for a working life rather than a private one. Vehicles of this type are usually supplied as a chassis cab and bodied to suit, so what sits behind the cab varies from one to the next.

Five to eight thousand dollars buys a Japanese light truck a class above the kei vehicles — more payload, a bigger engine and a frame built for commercial use, at a price well under any domestic equivalent.

How the purchase works

At 2000 it is past the 25-year mark, which is the line that decides whether a Japanese-market vehicle can be imported at all. We handle the import and title paperwork, and delivery is available to all fifty states. You can also watch the walkaround video above before deciding. The figure is $7,000, and a message is all it takes to put it aside.
