3L Turbo Diesel 4x4 Toyota Hiace Campervan in SHERWOOD, New South Wales for sale
This is a lot of van!
Gypsy is a roomy, powerful, and ultra-reliable 1999 model Toyota Hiace Campervan, with the rare combination of a turbo-diesel engine, full-range 4-wheel drive, super-long wheel base and a professional Campervan conversion ? pop-up, kitchen, Queen-size bed (or table and benches) ? and MUCH MORE. (Read lists below.) She looks great on the outside, too! No accidents, no rust, and minimal superficial scratches on a dark grey body.
We?re completing our tour of Australia. It?s time for Gypsy to find her next owner. She has so many great attributes, it?s easier for you to read a list. Engine and interior all in great working condition. You can take her and go touring immediately!

Cross-bar for loosening lug nuts, plus hollow steel pipe for leg leverage to make changing tyres very easy for women

OK, we?ve mentioned the turbo-diesel factor. We chose turbo (hard to find in a Hiace!) over a regular diesel engine because for a 2-tonne van, it means you won?t be slogging along but actually keeping up with regular traffic, in the city or highway. On the highway, Gypsy gets an average 9 km/litre (that?s about 21 miles per gallon if you?re an American!) -- very good going!
We have all past owner records plus records for our work on the van, which we have serviced every 5000 km. Like most campervans of this calibre, Gypsy is an import. Don?t that scare you! She?s a Toyota, and finding parts has not once been a problem.
Gypsy will be in the Northern Rivers/Coffs Harbour area in early to mid-November, which is when we want to sell her.
