Sambar w/ AC 5 speed + Granny Gear: the short version

The Sambar generation Subaru launched in 1999 was the last one the company engineered itself — after 2012 the nameplate became a rebadged Daihatsu. It kept the rear-mounted 658cc EN07 four-cylinder and gained the wider post-1998 kei body. These are the final four-cylinder, rear-engined kei trucks and vans anyone built.

The gauge reads 22,680 miles, or about 36,500 km as it was marked from the factory — a low figure by the standards of the Sambar's Japanese working life.

How this one is set up

The Sambar's layout does the heavy lifting here regardless of how the front axle is specified: a 658cc four-cylinder mounted behind the rear wheels, a completely flat bed floor with no drivetrain running beneath it, and a weight distribution that no other kei truck shares. Subaru kept that arrangement for decades after everybody else had abandoned it.

At this level a 1999 Subaru Sambar w/ AC 5 speed + Granny Gear is priced above the volume band, which in this market normally reflects a later generation, an unusual drivetrain specification, or factory equipment that did not come as standard.
