I saw that already, but I´m looking for a brand new one with 0 km on the watch and the equipment should be how I like it. Like choosing a car on a brochure exactly how you like and order it afterwards.

From my understanding there is no such thing as a "brand new" multicab that is being sold in the philippines....there are however used Japanese mini farm trucks that are then imported into the philippines where they go through a full re-assembly/re-fitting process which includes the changing of the steering wheel position;
as all Japanese Mini Trucks are RIGHT-HAND DRIVE....& only then are they sold as "NEW" multicabs (change of name/brand once in the Philippines).
I purchased my so called "BRAND NEW" RUSCO multicab in 2019 which had already clocked 38kkm on the odometer (The only thing brand new about mine was its fibreglass twin canopy roof/rims/tyres & paint work)...still runs great though!

Be sure to do your due diligence before buying...

Here's a clip fm someone who was not happy with his purchase.

We just bought one, it cost us $4k USD. There are not many options you can get-either with radio and dash cam or without. We ordered it with because that is what the wife wanted- and it wasn't much more to make her happy.

It took about a month to get. It has a couple small bench seats in the back. No AC. One of the tires needed rebeaded as it leaked air and was flat within a couple days of getting it home. Being a 4x4 it was geared on the low side and only has 4 gears-no overdrive. There is also no spare tire nor a jack. The paint job was amateurish at best.

Otherwise everyone is happy with it. It is a little workhorse for what we need. Go to the mountains to get wood. Haul many 5 gallon water jugs back and forth for filling. If the wife's brother needs it for work he can use it to move materials he needs to the build site. But it is what you paid for, a cheap mode of transportation that mostly replaced our Chariot.

These multi cabs here in the Philippines are salvage from Japan they are cut up to fit into containers than reassemble and painted, from what I understand the max mileage you can put on a multi cab in Japan is 39,000 k than it can no long be registered, so shipped to the Philippines as Salvage

That’s true,,, that’s the reason why I havnt purchased a muiticab at Davao City since 6 years ago,,, I believe lying for the retail value on a current L300 or Bongo multi cabs would be sufficient,,, I did a study regarding desire engines vs gas engines,,, best to purchase a new or a new sub or multi and beside those Japanese wiggly box vans,,, good trans though for a limited time,, and whom ever owned it probably never changed the oil or tranny fluid and so forth,,, jus rundowns,,,
