Whilst researching the possibility of another job, I have been spending some time looking up vans on YAJ (Yahoo! Auctions Japan) simply because the price in Japan, transport, bought and landed via Ewan @ HayaTonka.com is a lot cheaper than attempting to buy one locally from the car yards. Another thing I’ve noticed during the search is that Toyota Hiaces command quite the premium and a newer, lower mileage Nissan Caravan can be had for sometimes half the price. However, that’s enough modern jibber-jabber. It’s safe to say that if the courier companies allowed the use of older vehicles (2005 is the cut-off) then I would most definitely roll one of these instead;
Nissan Caravan
Nissan HOMY
Toyota Hiace
Toyota Hiace
Sadly, this is not a viable option. That being said, with the purchase price and initial setup cost of the Courier venture, it’s likely to be outside my reach at the moment regardless, so no options are viable. I guess I’ll keep looking and dreaming. One day…

That Homy is dope. I love that little peeper window and those big ass mirrors. Needs Godfather horns.
Shit Hot, there’s a Caravan Silky on Trademe at the moment I was pining over
