as nobody reads the for sale section, i thought id let you guys know im selling my trusty blue hiace, as seen here
good points:
its a toyota
its a hiace
its long wheelbase - video aspect ratio makes everything look small!
it has sliding doors on BOTH sides
the speedo says 159,000kms, but realisticly its done about 259
mechanicly its perfect, and well maintained
cooling system is perfect, doesnt even get hotter than normal towing a car on a trailer up a steep hill in 2nd gear on a hot day
brakes are primo, never had any brake fade or shudder
front pads are near new, rear shoes are near new
has NZ new spec boot lid gas stays which have a 2nd stage of height so you dont smack your head on the tailgate
has a steering wheel out of a levin, so it doesnt feel like shit like a normal hiace one.
has a rear seat and seatbelts which folds out of the way if youre not using it.
has 3 seats in the front
can hold 2 dirt bikes and 3 people with heaps of room in the back
can hold 3 dirt bikes and 3 people, with not as much room in the back
can hold 6 people, 1 full size bike and 1 85 or similar with room in the back
can hold 1 bike and 6 people with enough room for camping gear and riding gear for 6 people whilst towing a trailer with a further 5 bikes on it
has been a trusty and reliable van to me and has gone all around the country, what it lacks in speed it makes up for in handling.
17" Advanti Mags with 235/45/17 tyres all round, the front ones are about 250km old,
KYB shocks, modified bumpstops, handles amazingly, - and most of you will say im full of shit its a van, but anyone who'se been in it could back this up
has been lowered 65mm in the rear with leaf mods and 50mm lowering blocks. - all legit, and the front torsion bars wound down to match, no rubbing banging or scraping etc
5% tint all around the back of it with lighter tint on the front windows
4 star alarm with immobilizer installed by a nzsa registered installer - a glass break sensor would make it 5 star.
has extra hooks in the back for holding bikes in, none of which are in the way of anything else
has WORKING air conditioning, regassed about 12 months ago
has a tow bar and rear bull bar kinda thing
rear backing sonar (factory!) that works real well when the back is full of bikes and you cant see shit out the back!
interior is in good condition, seats arent ripped or fucked in any way
has xtra lighting in the back so you can see what youre doing inside at night - 2x fluro work lights mounted at the top of the sides - hooked into normal interior light switches
2x added cupholders which fold up mounted in the front out of the way (not shithouse air vent pieces of shit)
all the airvents ARENT broken.
6x9 speakers in the front doors, sounds great, those factory dash speakers just dont cut it
2.8 diesel, never skips a beat.
awesome comfortable cruiser, does about 600km to a 70l tank of diesel thrashing it, top speed is 140k downhill, or 130 on a long straight lol, happyly goes 120 though, even up the bombays heading south, will hold top gear at 100k heading up the bombays north as an idea of how it goes
new windscreen with no chips last summer - another rarity for hiaces!
has fancy clear tail lights on it
THE NOT SO IDEAL PARTS
has had rust, most of which has been repaired, but theres still a few sneaky parts rearing their evil heads
rust around the windscreen has been cut out and repaired last summer. every hiace this shape has rust issues, im just the guy being honest about it!
paint job is shit. bits of it are brushed on, and the rest of it isnt much better. looks ok when its dirty, or when its clean and wet, or else looks good from a distance.
its auto. its no slower than a manual one, however it is still annoying when it decides to chop into 2nd gear whilst going up a hill with a trailer and it had enough grunt to stay in 3rd.
cant really think of any more downsides to it.
in after $4500, and i can deliver anywhere for a reasonable price
