Re: I neeeeeed a nice Deli
Hi Desmond,
Sorry never heard of them but with so many well serviced Delica in the Vancouver area I'd be tempted to buy locally. The price of local Delica has been going down over the last year, nice. And although some dealers don't have the van you'd want on their lot (in transit) they can usually give you a better idea of when it will be here and what shape. If lucky they may have one sitting on the lot waiting for you... In any case, stick with recommended dealers from this site as they have a reputation to preserve. A good dealer would also get your van fully serviced... that's a big plus! If unsure just ask...
Good luck,
David

I would also recommend buying from a dealer here, buying one from japan and importing it looks cheaper but after you do all the additional maintenance work that should get done to all of these vans, and is done by most of the dealers recommended on this site, you will find the the price is pretty close to the same or possibly even more as you are only bringing in one and don't have the system down to a science. just my 2 cents.

It's not like it used to be 2-3 years ago when you can get one (good one) for $5,000.
Importing fees/shipping/taxes/duty/compliance/tires/parts/mechanical issues can all add up to more than buying one locally.
The only time I will import again is if a dealer does not have exactly what I am looking for which is very unlikely.
