This 1992 Subaru Sambar DIAS II is a pristine example of a well-maintained kei van with exceptionally low mileage. With just 16,800 DOCUMENTED kilometers (~10,500 miles) on the odometer, this vehicle has been carefully preserved and includes comprehensive service records from Japan and the US verifying its outstanding condition and its low mileage. Inspection reports and the export certificate all verify that this vehicle has less than 11k miles on it, but the car's condition also speaks for itself. VIN is KV4-071372.

There are very few flaws with this incredible machine. There is one small dent/ding on the passenger side sliding door, one very small dent (dime-sized) on the passenger side fender, some very small rubs on the bumper corners that have been touched up, and the passenger side rear mudflap is missing a screw. The tachometer does not work.
