** UPDATED ** Delica Dealer / Importer Ratings and Feedback

[jessef]

Disclaimer: this thread expresses the feedback of individual forum members, and not the opinion of delica.ca

Continuation from this thread : http://www.delica.ca/forum/delica-deale ... -3086.html (see for past ratings)

You can only rate the dealer you bought from. If you wish to participate, please feel free to answer any of the following information (or only one question).

- The dealer or importer from whom you purchased
- Please state if it was a positive, neutral, or negative experience
- Any relevant information you'd like to include about your experience
- Would you recommend them to others?

If you are going to leave the story of your experience, please make sure to also state the overall experience as either positive, neutral, or negative, and your overall recommendation (should you choose to). It's great to put both positive and negative aspects, but for the sake of categorizing your response, I don't want to assume anything.

I'll keep track of the answers in this post (listed alphabetically). Some customers bought more than once from the same dealer, with different experiences, so the number of ratings do not always equal the number of customers to the dealer.

To make sure that each response is authentic, the following guidelines have been put in place:
1. Responses are accepted only from those who have been a member for at least one month and have posted on other threads
2. After leaving feedback I will pm you to confirm your feedback. Ratings will not be changed until I receive a reply from the confirmation pm.

Those responses that do not meet the above criteria will be considered "pending" (see list below).

NOTE: This thread is not for glorifying or venting - just plain and simple feedback about your experience.

DEALERS: The purpose of this post (as stated above) is to gain feedback from customers about their buying experience, for the sake of helping future Delica purchasers. Of course, I realize it is one side of the transaction story. If you wish to thank the customer for their kind feedback, please do so via private message. If you wish to respond to neutral or negative feedback from the customer, again please first pm the customer to resolve the issue, and then either the customer can edit their post to add the outcome (best option), or you can write a post to explain the result of the interaction (second-best option).

Thanks, everyone, for keeping this thread relevant and objective.

NB: Dealers / importers are BC based unless otherwise noted. Exporters are based in Japan.

Hello Everyone,

Although I have not been a member for long I wanted to speak about my buying experience to date.

I have been in communications with Steve from assiniboine, and have officially put a down payment on my L400. So far things have been quite positive, Steven has been very helpfull, and patient with me. This will be my first jdm purchase, and it can be pretty intimidating regardless of how confident you are in your "guy"

Steven is knowledgeable, and kind, even though I have been pulling on his sleeve, asking 101 questions. His professionalism is reassuring.

With that said, the real test is yet to come when he brings it up to me later this month, however Im sure that all will go well.
My wife and I can hardly contain ourselves, I will update you all once the deal is done.

Another positive for Karim and Silkroadautos!
All here know that RHD are banned in québec.
But Karim,at Silkroad,has allowed my cousin,
stradaquébec on this forum,to buy,to register and to ride with a beautiful 1995 black super exceed Spacegear,
everything in complete legality.incredible!

Karim is the best car seller that you can find.You can trust him all the way.If you buy from Silkroad,he will do anything to give you satisfaction.

Karim is a really good friend,even if he stay on the other side of the country.

So,POSITIVE for Silkroadautos.

Cheers.

Sure positive for Silkroad. I just got a L400 register here in Quebec porvince. The process of registering was so long because it all began in 2009. But Karim was 100% always cooperative with the issues that Quebec was asking during all this long process. And when you deal with Silkroad, the best thing is that Karim work for you to find the exact vehicule you want at the price you want. So in my case, I got a nice low milleage no rust L400 for affordable price. So my score for Silkroad is A+. Thanks Karim

[solanoid]

Hi,

Yes rising sun is the same as assiniboine, their selection is great and I have not heard many bad things about them, my experience was good.

[trecar]

Heres a definite positive for Mardy at Amazing Auto Imports. Bought a 95 l400 from him march 3rd and was impressed with the overall service and condition of the vehicle. I would recomend him to anyone. Thanks
