Used Toyota Passo for Export from Japan
The Passo is Toyota's cheapest full-size-registration compact — a Daihatsu-built 1.0L city car with a Toyota badge. It undercuts the Vitz on price while keeping the same dealer-network confidence, which makes it the entry ticket for first-time importers in Tanzania, Kenya, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The 1.0L engine also lands in the lowest excise brackets in several East African tariff systems.
Typical FOB range: $3,000–$7,500
Key facts
- FWD; 1.0L 1KR-FE three-cylinder; some 1.3L on earlier generations
- Best for: lowest-budget buyers, city commuting, sub-1000cc duty brackets
- Sister car Daihatsu Boon is mechanically identical and often cheaper at auction
What to check at auction
The 1KR-FE is robust but check for oil consumption above 120,000 km and timing chain rattle on cold start. Interior plastics wear fast — grade the cabin from photos. Small cars carry small margins: bid discipline matters more here than on SUVs.
