It took a while, but I finally received a fax from VICCI. It was a sheet in Japanese showing two side photos of the car with some info next to the photos. There was a 3.5 on the sheet, which was circled, and the vehicle mileage, which still doesn't match the car but is at least closer, and lower. Bu...

Would the auction sheet come with the car, or would that be something the dealer has to get sent over from Japan at a later time? When I requested an auction sheet from VICC, they went on about trying to track it down in Japan and are "still waiting" for it to "arrive". This soun...

Dealer Caution

This is a heads up based on my personal experience with VI Custom Car Imports on Vancouver Island. I've been trying to buy a car from them for a couple weeks, but have finally given up. After test driving one of their cars (which was tough: after a 2 hour drive there the sales-boy forgot my appointm...

How to confirm odometer on a JDM?

Just wondering what's the best way (if any) to determine if the odometer has been tampered with on a JDM import? Aside from the condition of the car matching the mileage (Worn seats and pedals with only 32,000kms? I don't think so.) is there any paperwork that can be verified? I'm new to the process...

Recall and accident info?

Just wondering if there's any way to find out if recall work was performed on a JDM Delica while it was still in Japan? I know there were several Mitsu recalls on early 90's models, but would like to know if this was addressed before I buy. Also, aside from personal inspection, is there any proof fr...

Deli parts: Lordco, CDNTire?

Just wondering where Deli drivers find 'regular' wear parts, such as wiper blades, air filers, oil filters, brake pads, etc. Does Lordco, CDNTire or elsewhere carry equivalent parts? Since Mitsubishi has only been in Canada for a couple years, there must not be a lot of general parts in catalogues e...
