Can anyone recommend a car appraisal person/company in cowtown? My insurance company requires one to be done before I can get complete coverage.
Thanks

Re: Any ideas anyone!

Door to door delivery from squamish to calgary was quoted only around $800 by http://www.searail.ca 1-866-282-9831
Probably way less from Golden (rail runs right through there no?) to Delta - Give them a shout then perhaps CVI can pick it up for you in Richmond???

Re: Steps for registering BC Deli in Calgary

Hey Loki, is there something to look for on the glass to determine that it's MMC - is there literally MMC markings on each pane?

Re: Steps for registering BC Deli in Calgary

Nice! That's good to hear. I just called ProActive here in Calgary, with my main concern about the replacing of all glass - they had never heard of this and said as long as the headlights are compliant, tires, etc. it should be no problem getting a BC Delica through the out of province inspection......

Re: Steps for registering BC Deli in Calgary

Hi M, Yes all those items sound familiar to other postings on this site - not sure sure it's new as of 2008 though. Here's what I know: The headlights defintiely need to be changed if they're still the originals. The new headlights once installed need to be set up as daytime running headlights (DRLs...

Re: Suggestions on best way to do a distance deal?

Thaqnks Green1 - good idea for paypal. So as far as timing the transaction though.... did you just pay the dealer once the Deli was picked up by the delivery service? I think you mentioned before you drove yours back? Just not sure the best way to time the payment - perhaps do the paypal once the sh...

Anyone changing their belts and parts themselves??

Hi guys, I don't even own a Delica (YET), but I'd like to know why it seems no one is doing belt changes, water pump replacements etc..themselves? I've searched the site for detailed how-to's, but come up blank. The reason I ask is that I'm considering importing my Delica with the intention of doing...

Re: Calgary - 32Ave, Feb 28th - Coco Brooks Pizza

Hey Cool! I rarely see these in Calgary and it killed me having to get back to work without stopping. I don't have a Deli yet myself, but planning to pick one up this spring.
Anyhow - great looking van, hoping to 'join the club' soon.

Re: Tips for getting a BC Deli back to AB...??

OK - I think I understand now. Sounds like the best thing to do is: Let my insurance company here know what I plan on doing. Make the puchase Call my Insurance company and have them fax me my temp pink slip in Van. Get an in-transit ticket from BC insurance company (I can get one being an Alberta re...

Re: Tips for getting a BC Deli back to AB...??

Thanks for the quick replys - some great info! Green1 - I do have a toyota truck that I'll be leaving here when I go to Vancouver. So are you saying that I can just remove the plates from my truck when I fly to Van, put them on the Deli, drive the Deli to Caglary, put the plates back on the truck, t...

Tips for getting a BC Deli back to AB...??

Hi guys, My name is Steve and I'm in Calgary, Alberta. I've been lurking on this site for a month or so now - ever since I saw my first Delica in early January at Burstall Pass in Kananaskis country. I've been thinking about these vans so much lately, I swear I've actually lost sleep thinking about ...
