This Sambar is fitted with a manual gearbox.

Background: the Sambar

Every Subaru-built Sambar is a full cab-over, which is precisely how Subaru got a longer cargo bed than its rivals onto the same overall length. The KS4 designation follows Subaru's own convention: the letters give the body and the number gives the drive. The name comes from the sambar deer, in keeping with the rest of Subaru's naming of that era.

Buying this 1991 Sambar

A 1991 Sambar is old enough to be simple and new enough to be usable, which is most of why this generation gets exported rather than scrapped. What you see is what we have: a White Sambar on our lot, not a listing for a vehicle still in an auction hall. It is listed at $5,984.
