1997 Mazda Bongo

Sold with a clean US title.

The Mazda Bongo Truck presents so much style and utility in one small package. Inside the cab, you are greeted with a patterned vinyl bench seat with contoured driver and passenger seats. Behind the cab, a hardly-ever-used bed with drop gates in the style of a 60s Volkswagen single cab (with some minor improvements). A dually rear end contributes to the massive-for-its-size 850 kg payload capacity - thats a hair over 1,870 lbs for you US Customary Unit of Measure types. The icing on the cake though, is the impossibly low 12,261 miles. Yes, under 13,000 original miles! It is essentially a new 25 year old truck. You simply cannot find nice, low mileage, unmolested examples like this anymore in Japan. It was imported in January 2025 and is offered for your consideration.
