    Default Hiace SBV, conversion to passenger vehicle?

    I am being offered a SBV hiace, which is in good condition, but it is a work vehicle, and i need a passenger vehicle. I have searched for a SBV with existing seats, but haven't been able to find one. Does any one know if toyota make seats for this model, or if it is possible maybe with normal hiace seats.

    Thanks

    Hi, I work for Toyota in spare parts, 2nd hand will be your only reasonable option! Toyota dont sell any seats complete, we get really frustrated when poeple want a quote on a complete seat as there are anywhere between 20-50ish individual parts we have to quote. Usually the total sits somewhere around the $3000 per seat. Good luck with finding second hand!

    Would you not find someone in your area that does rear seat conversions for vans in your area and get them to put something generic in there?

    Like these guys, but local:

    Yeah it seems you are right, my mistake.
    Townace SBV comes with the 7k and the spacia has a 3S FE and a heap of windows and seats.
