The Nissan Clipper DR17V is a rebadged Suzuki Every DA17V — same 660cc R06A engine, same load bay, same running gear — but the Nissan badge often trades at a small discount at auction for identical condition. For a buyer sourcing on landed cost per useful van, that discount is free money. In the $5k–$10k band it sources from Japan's licensed auctions for roughly $3,000–$7,500 FOB (estimate, as of 2026-07-06).

Prices are estimates based on recent auction data. Your licensed dealer confirms exact figures before any bid is placed.

What to check on the auction sheet

Same checkpoints as the Every: grade-dependent turbo/high-roof pricing, CVT/AT behaviour on fleet examples, sliding-door rollers and tailgate rust. Badge-specific trim parts are scarcer than Suzuki ones; mechanical parts interchange freely.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a used Nissan Clipper Van (DR17V) cost in Japan?

Roughly $3,000–$7,500 FOB at Japanese auction for 2015–2021 examples (estimate, as of 2026-07-06). Generation, auction grade and mileage decide where a car falls in that range. Shipping, insurance, duty and local taxes are added on top.

Does the Clipper Van (DR17V) come right-hand drive from Japan?

Japan drives on the left, so Japanese-market examples of the Nissan Clipper Van (DR17V) are right-hand drive. Check that your country accepts right-hand-drive imports before you buy. We do not convert steering.

Is the Clipper Van (DR17V) available from Japan's auctions?

Usually, yes. Japan's auction houses, of which USS is the largest network, sell tens of thousands of used cars every week, and a licensed member can read each car's auction sheet before bidding. The number of Clipper Van (DR17V) cars listed varies from week to week.
