Tyee Imports. Well if you are interested in a Pajero please do yourself a favour and don't waste your time at Tyee Imports. I ended up importing my own 2.8L 94Pajero. But before this I called Tyee. Their pictures looked great (given they just hit the truck with water to make it look shiny) I asked if I could take a look at one, they said yes they have a few on the lot just come by for a test drive. I then had my dad drive 6hrs from his home to Vancouver to pick me up, then the ferry and drive to Campbell River. I had a wad of cash just itching to buy my new Pajero. When I arrived I was greeted by.. No one. I literally had to drag the punk at the counter out to the lot to answer my questions. Seeing there was quite a bit of rust and a full ash tray with heaps of sun damage I asked if he would consider this truck in good condition. He replied, ya they typically all have rust. If you want we can get tires on it and DOT it so you can test drive it, just give us a couple weeks and a deposit. WHAT!!!!!!!! They wasted no only my time, but my dads and the gas money and ferry money for the trip over to look at a crappy rusted Paj that I couldn't even take for a spin.
So like I say.. Do myself, yourself a favour and don't waste your time on these D bags.
Cheers
Liam

I've had my Paj almost a year, so here's my take:
I love this truck.
1994 LWB 2.8 Super Exceed. Loaded, even has cruise which I found is rare.
Grade 4B, as people are recommending here. Came with new brakes all around, some new front end parts, and the fuel pump front seal had just been done. (common problem)
Flawless condition, aside from some scuffs where a roof rack was mounted and some HORRIBLE window tint which I promptly removed. Zero rust anywhere. NO LEAKS!
$10k landed, with Ontario ownership in hand.
It needed (in my mind), approx $2000 in extra stuff which consisted of:
This stuff got me on the road:
-New tires
-USDM Montero headlights
-windshield chip fixed, new wipers
Maintenance I did:
-change all fluids/filters (oil, trans, transfer case, both diffs, coolant)
-glow plugs (almost a guarantee you'll need em)
-installed block heater
-oil pressure sensor (tab broke off)
-alignment (Montero spec)
-adjusted belts
-adjusted throttle cable/kickdown
Other than that I've put ZERO repairs into this truck, just a couple more oil changes since I got it...
Found it is very easy to work on, and no problem getting parts with all the sponsors....
Pulls my 20' boat no problem...
Any other info you want let me know!
In a nutshell, GET ONE.
If you get a LWB, you'll have a 4wd SUV you can use for almost anything, fit 7 people, and can get you 30mpg!
