The Honda Acty is a line of Kei-class microvans and pickup trucks built for utility in Japan's tight spaces. The years 1983-1993 span the end of the first generation (TN) and the beginning of the second generation (HA/HH), which debuted in 1988. First-gen models used a 545cc 2-cylinder engine, while the more modern second-gen introduced a 547cc 3-cylinder (E05A), which was later upgraded to 656cc (E07A) in 1990. All Actys from this period feature a clever mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout that provides excellent balance.
Collectors and enthusiasts import Actys under the 25-year rule for their immense character and practicality. They're popular as light-duty work vehicles for farms, as promotional tools for businesses, or simply as fun and economical runabouts. The second-generation models are particularly sought after for their more modern amenities and improved engines. Variants with "Real Time" 4WD and the "Street" passenger van configuration command a premium for their added capability and versatility.
The market for imported Actys is well-established, with an average sale price around $8,147. This reflects a healthy demand for clean, legally imported trucks. The price range is wide, indicating that condition, mileage, and specific options heavily influence value. The lower end represents higher-mileage work trucks, while the top of the market is reserved for exceptionally clean, low-mileage, and well-optioned examples, particularly second-generation 4WD models.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest concern. Thoroughly inspect the truck bed, under the bed, the cab corners, battery box, and chassis frame for corrosion.
- Verify engine health and service history. Both the 2-cylinder and 3-cylinder engines are reliable, but timing belts are a critical service item. Parts availability can be a challenge in North America.
- If you're looking at a 4WD model, test the system to ensure it engages and disengages correctly. Repairs to the "Real Time" 4WD can be difficult.
- Ensure the seller provides all necessary import documents, including the CBP Form 7501, DOT Form HS-7, and EPA Form 3520-1, to facilitate a smooth titling and registration process.
