Mitsubishi Jeep J53 Diesel Turbo, J50-series, 1988 (Showa 63)

This is a 1988 Mitsubishi Jeep J53 (J50-series), a right-hand-drive, 2-door, 4-seat cross-country/SUV type vehicle with a canvas top. It has a 2,700cc diesel turbo engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and 4WD. Exterior color is black. The odometer reads 38,620 km, but the seller notes the true mileage is unknown because the 5-digit odometer cannot confirm total distance traveled. The seller states no accident/repair history. The vehicle has been temporarily deregistered (ichiji-masshou) as its vehicle inspection (shaken) lapsed; a buyer will need to handle re-registration before road use. The seller reports the engine runs well with no unusual vibration, and that the car drives, steers, and brakes without issue, though the battery is weak/near end of life and currently requires a jump start. The car is sold as-is, and the seller encourages an in-person inspection before bidding, noting that photos may look better than the car appears in person given its age. Storage location is Hachioji, Tokyo, near Keio Line Hazama Station.

Seller reports small scratches, dents, and fading typical of age, with no damage considered serious; the underside has been repainted. Battery is weak and needs replacement, though the engine currently starts via jump-start and runs, steers, and brakes normally.

Shipping: The seller states that pickup and ground transport arrangements must be handled by the winning bidder. No carrier or shipping cost is quoted by the seller.
