Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Good to know, thanks. Diesel in the US (where my BC-reg'd Deli would live most of the time) is about ~$0.20 more expensive per gallon than unleaded. I am guessing that since the gas engine is shared w/ the Montero it would be easier to maintain in the US (where nobody has heard of Mitsu diesel engin...

I did search but I can't seem to find any posts that discuss the mileage of the gasser L400 vs. the diesel. Lots discuss the diesel, obviously. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

I'm kind of sort of interested in this one, but not sure if I need the lift kit since the stock clearance is going to be more than enough for my needs. I'm assuming removing such a lift would be somewhat of a PITA? No sense in paying for something I don't really need, right?

Should I keep looking?

I have seen a handful of L300 Delicas up at Mt. Baker ski area in the past couple of weeks. I talked to a guy who had a lifted white high roof L300 w/ a light bar on the roof today, and there was a greenish one (maybe w/ poptop?) lurking about recently as well.

Thanks for the info Luna-Sea. I'm kind of torn between the L300 and L400 as each has their own pros and cons. I'm a fan of the Chamonix/Jasper winter packages of the L300 (are they available in L400?) but I like the L400 for the airbag, front engine, switchable 2/4WD, etc. I think a test drive or th...

Just got off the phone with ICBC. Apparently it's fine to own/register/insure a car in BC w/ a US license, but they told me to expect major hassles with border crossings. "Yes, it's my car. Yes, I'm a US citizen. No, it's not stolen. Please put down the glove."

Currently I'm living about 30km from the border as the crow flies, so that's not an issue. I can be in Kits in ~2h.

My California digs are quite a bit further.

Hmm, I will look into the long-range insurance issue. I guess I'd probably need a BC DL too, huh?

Well, it's kind of true, as I was born and bred in the US, but there's a twist: I am a Canadian citizen w/ a Canadian permanent address. I have been scouring this forum for a while now and it seems that the Delica is one of the best vehicles out there for what I want. The only issue is that I live i...
