This information was relevant on the day this page was prepared. Pricing, eligibility and requirements can change. Confirm the latest details with Prestige Car Imports before you buy.
All cost examples on this page use an exchange rate of AUD 1 = JPY 105. Actual costs may be higher or lower depending on the rate at the time of purchase and payment.
The Townace Van is offered with 2WD or 4WD. Pre-September-2020 cars use the 3SZ-VE 1.5L petrol engine, while later S403M/S413M use the 2NR-VE 1.5L petrol engine and revised safety equipment. PCI’s currently advertised Model Report conditions require builds from November 2016, under 80,000km, and a qualifying camper conversion. From March 2025, vehicles must also have the specified Smart Assist advanced emergency braking equipment.
Auction examples on this page include cars outside PCI’s advertised criteria. The lowest band shows about $10,000 AUD from a 2009 / 283,000km auction reference that is not an eligible landed-and-complied starting estimate under the current Model Report conditions. Treat ineligible cards as auction pricing references only. Not a quote. (AUD 1 = JPY 105).
