Even if I have nowhere to put it...or the money to afford it. The price is just really reasonable and it looks in decent shape!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

As for the transmission, I can’t think that the reverse gear would’ve lunched itself, that’s just not all that common as people don’t use reverse a lot....unless they’d shifted into reverse while moving forward.

I emailed the guy and he says quote: “won’t go into gear” - so that does sound more like a linkage issue to me as he mentions in the ad. It doesn’t look in that bad a shape, and 91,000kms isn’t all that much - my Accent has more than that! They’re basic and sturdy little trucks.....so much want!

Also, this is a 4x4 model....the 4x4 models are usually a premium over 2WD Kei trucks, so if everything else checked out and the transmission issue was just a minor linkage issue, this would be the steal of the century possibly at only $1500 CAD!

Any Eastern Canadian or Northeastern American Oppos looking for a fun project? :)

Oh man, that’s tempting!

It’s not quite old enough to come to the US yet.

How much would it cost to put this in a garage in/near Niagara for a few years? Asking for a friend.

Seeing as it’s Ontario and prices are astronomical there for real estate anywhere near Southern Ontario, I’m guessing......several million dollars.

There's always room to park just a ways down the street.
