The Toyota HiAce is one of the models we bring in from Japan for Kampala. We source it at auction in Japan, inspect it, and land it at our yard in Nakawa — tell us what you want and we find it.
East Africa moves on the HiAce — nothing else comes close. The 200-series van carries fourteen passengers, two tonnes of trade goods or a tour group's luggage with the same shrug, and every mechanic between here and Mombasa knows its engines by ear.
The ones to buy are the ones that were not worked to death first. Underbody, gearbox and clutch tell the truth about a van's past life — check them before the paint. A HiAce with an honest history will outlast the business plan you buy it for.
