Where the ACR30 Estima fits

ACR30 is the four-cylinder, front-drive version of the second-generation Toyota Estima, launched in 2000. It uses the 2.4-litre 2AZ-FE and a flat-floored monocoque — a departure from the mid-engined first-generation Estima, which had the engine lying under the floor. Aeras versions are the sports-trimmed specification in the Japanese range.

Recorded mileage is 26,664, which works out at roughly 42,900 km on the original kilometre scale.

What it is for

The van body turns an open-deck commercial into a secure one. Load height, floor area and running gear stay the same as the equivalent truck; what changes is that the cargo is locked, dry and out of sight, which for tools or stock is usually the deciding factor.

Between $12,000 and $20,000 a Japanese van is being priced for a specific reason: a scarce specification, a passenger conversion, or a chassis that very few of came out of Japan. This is not the volume end of the market.

Making it yours

Because it was built in 2000, the federal 25-year exemption applies and the usual FMVSS and EPA conformity requirements fall away.
