Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Well, treeguy, as you said it is a roll of the dice. No one can guarantee that a vehicle with 80,000km will not have something horrible wrong with it. And one with 150,000km need not be in bad shape. Hidehiko seemed to think that mine is in very good shape, and I pray, hope and believe that it will ...

Depending on what I need to do to pass the BC inspection, I expect to pay another 1000-1500 for clearing customs and all the official stuff including whatever needs changing or fixing after the inspection.

That is correct. I basically asked for a manual transmission, diesel, 4x4 Delica, upto 150,000km, auction grade 3 or higher, for upto 400,000YEN delivered in New West.
Because I asked for manual transmission, it took a few weeks. Automatics take much less.

I am still in the process. My Delica arrives in Canada today, and I hope to have it in my hands in a week and a half.

Has anyone ever spoken with Hidehiko on the phone? I am thinking of calling him this evening, but wonder if he'll understand me (and me him) over the phone...

Hello, Hidehiko (Samurai Garage) found a Delica for me and I am trying to transfer the money to him. I am working with the Coastal Community Credit Union, and have given them all the banking info that Hidehiko refered me to at: http://www.geocities.jp/samurai_garage50/export3/ The lady at the bank i...

Thanks again Paul. Heron just mentioned you a couple of weeks ago. Not by name, but I asked him about the eggs and he said he supplies a lot to someone who is a baker on the island and is building a wood fired baking oven... Funny that.

Cheers,
Ilan

Hey, I do own the Thirsty Camel, yeah. Thanks for the info Paul. I will call Courtney Agencies in Vancouver. Just waiting for Hidehiko to tell me that he got the Delica. He's supposed to be bidding on it today. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the info and the tips. I can't wait to get my Delica and conv...

Hello, Ilan here. I just discovered this forum (thanks Kevin). I am about to import a Delica through Hidehiko (Samurai Garage). Once the car is in New West, what can I expect to pay to release it into my hands? I am going to be using an import broker as I am self employed and have no time to handle ...
