1991 Mitsubishi Delica Diesel 4x4 Van
High Top Super Exceed L300 Delica (Deluxe Camping Edition)
An extremely clean and
low-miles example of the reliable and fuel-efficient Delica. It has been
impeccably maintained and legally imported into the US. Everything works, it runs
strong with no rust. 109k miles.
If you don’t know
about these vans they are amazing. Their reliability, robustness, simplicity, and parts availability make them great for longer expeditions and adventures.
People literally take them around the world, for instance: (this isn’t mine but
similar example): here /
It has 5 sunroofs!! The 4 in the back have
motorized shades that you can operate from the front or the back. It is
camperized from the factory with OEM curtains, OEM mini fridge/oven box, and
the seats can turn into a bed, which is only one of a dozen different
configurations. Power windows, locks, steering, etc., OEM altitude meter and inclinometer, lots of fog lights and axillary
lights, OEM bush bar, automatic transmission with overdrive, dual zone A/C
controls for both front and rear. Custom mahogany steering wheel. Full-sized
matching alloy spare tire. Seats 7 passengers. Two swiveling captain's
chairs and full folding rear bench seat. A couple of minor blemishes on the
body, nothing major: overall excellent condition for its age. Remarkably it also has a stock karaoke machine
in the back! HID projection headlights. LED interior so doesn’t draw lots of
power. “Crystal lite roof” with power sunshades, alloys rims, Audio Stage
sound system with rear control/karaoke unit and extra rear speakers, It has a
throttle lock knob that, by design, functions as cruise control. Aftermarket
higher-end Sony stereo head-unity with USB and headphone Jack. Some the
speakers are also high-end aftermarket.
This vehicle was legally imported from a registered
broker. This is a RHD/JDM vehicle from Japan. It has all the proper importation
documentation and currently has a clean Oregon title and is located in Los
Angeles CA. I am happy to deliver anywhere in the US for fee.
Full
maintenance performed all fluids/filters replaced. All synthetic fluids used
including on transmission. A few years again it got a new head casket (OEM
parts used), new aluminum radiator, new accessory belts, water pump, timing
belts and tensioners. It has newish tires. 'Winter' model with dual battery.
Both are new on warranty and have around 1000 cold cranking amps each!! Starts
like a dream without a puff of smoke. New rear brake shoes, new axle seals, all
new belts, new tie rod and ball joint, recent wheel alignment. New glow plugs.
ebay doesn't like JDM VIN. The VIN is P36W0116624
Now
that Delicas are getting a larger cult following over here there are many parts
suppliers in North America.
No
speed demon but can cruise on the highway at 70mph all day. But there is lots
of low-end grunt.
With the 4x4, 2-speed hi/low transfer-case, incredible approach/departure angles, limited slip differential, and large
aggressive tires, these vans have pretty good off-road capability. However, they are also small and smooth enough to function perfectly as a daily driver.
Arguably
this is the most reliable Delica of them all. The simple diesel engine is
commonly used as a base for bio-diesel/veggie oil conversion. Has the venerable 4D56T 2.5L turbo diesel, which is very popular
globally; it was the engine used in the Pajero, where it dominated the Dakar.
Being
a diesel it gets great fuel economy. If you dive very slowly it gets near
30mpg, but more like 25mpg when you drive at regular speed. Diesel is super
cheap now too!
Huge
interior space (for instance, you can fit 4’x’8 plywood in the back). However, unlike a Mercedes Sprinter van, it has the footprint of a regular car and you
can fit in most underground parking lots. With the curtains it is also great
for “urban stealth camping.” It is the ultimate road-trip van.
Why buy a VW Syncro Vanagon for $50k when you can
get this, and you don’t have to restore and re-engineer it. As is, it will be
infinitely more reliable and has much more readily available parts for a
fraction of the price of a VW van.
Item is sold AS-IS, no refunds or exchanges. No warranty given or implied. Bid carefully. I reserve the right to end the bidding early.
