Mitsubishi Minicab for Sale
The Mitsubishi Minicab is a practical, straightforward Kei truck that shares much of its ecosystem with other mainstream Kei models. Rather than settling for whatever one dealer happens to have, tell KeiScout exactly what you want and we'll search appropriate U.S. and Japanese sources — confirming import and title eligibility before you commit.
What to know before buying a Mitsubishi Minicab
Purpose-built commercial lineage; 1991/1999 redesigns well documented. That makes it a well-known choice, but it also means asking prices and configurations vary widely between individual vehicles.
Best-fit buyers: b2b utility, value-focused buyers. Exact engines/transmissions vary; chassis-specific verification required.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Mitsubishi Minicab legal to import to the U.S.?
A Mitsubishi Minicab is generally federally importable once the specific vehicle is at least 25 years old, based on its actual manufacture date — not its model year. Always confirm the manufacture date of the individual vehicle. Whether you can register and drive it on public roads is a separate, state-by-state question.
How much does a Mitsubishi Minicab cost?
There's no single price. The vehicle's condition, year, drivetrain, and configuration all matter, and that's before shipping, customs, duties, state taxes, and domestic transport. Use our calculator to estimate a full landed cost for your scenario.
Can KeiScout find a specific Mitsubishi Minicab configuration?
Yes — that's the point of the $99 search. You tell us the year range, drivetrain, and configuration you want, and we search appropriate sources for a match instead of limiting you to one lot of existing inventory.
Find the right Mitsubishi Minicab — not just the one that's listed
Give KeiScout your exact requirements and destination state. We'll search appropriate sources and verify eligibility so you don't end up with a Mitsubishi Minicab you can't register.
