The original Toyota Hiace was a commercial vehicle intended for the Japanese market. This unique Toyota Hiace Grand Cabin is now being offered for sale through the Fourbie Exchange in Pomona, California (USA) for $17,995 (273 million VND).
This van, manufactured in 1994, was imported to the US and subsequently converted into a mobile home for long-distance trips.
Despite being 32 years old, the car's interior has been thoroughly refreshed. The cockpit stands out with its dark red leather seats, exquisite stitching, and numerous wood trim details. The center console has also been upgraded with metal cup holders, giving it a more premium feel compared to the original design.
The rear compartment is the most noteworthy feature. It's equipped with a refrigerator with a capacity of approximately 40 liters, a separate air conditioning system, an entertainment speaker system, and a wall-mounted TV. The seats can be folded flat to create a bed for resting during long journeys.
Notably, the rear cargo area has been completely converted into a self-contained mini-bathroom. This area features a separate door, waterproof tiled floor, sink, storage cabinets, and a hot shower. This is a rare feature, even on many specialized camper vans today.
According to the dealership, the Hiace has traveled approximately 271,000 km. However, its technical condition is said to be quite good thanks to regular maintenance.
In the last 10,000 km or less, the vehicle has had a number of important parts replaced, including the timing belt, water pump, tensioner pulley, engine mounts, thermostat, fuel injectors, and alternator. The 2.8L naturally aspirated diesel engine is also rated as running smoothly.
In fact, the asking price of $17,995 (273 million VND) is not cheap for a van that's over three decades old, but its unique amenities, especially the integrated bathroom, are considered the key to this Hiace's appeal.
