Mitsubishi Delica ???

[Big_unit]

What do you know about Mitsubishi Delicas ? If so what are your thoughts about them ? How do they handle soft sand, corrugated tracks ? How in general do they perform ? Have they got any major defects or issues that should be checked out before buying one ?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi James, I have a guy at work with one and he hasn't stopped spending money on it. In the last 12 months he has put a new motor, turbo,exhaust, radiator and now the transmission needs work on it. On the good side he has had no problems getting parts quickly. As I was looking at them awhile ago, I just waited to see how his went and now glad I didn't go that way, but I went for the Jap import Prado with no better luck either. ??? :( :( :( :( :( ::)

Its not for me. By the way I got $6500 for the Ute to a guy who is a guest here, he read the posts and said to me he saw that other people had written about how good it looked and thats what got his attention.

Thanks guys I showed my Sister this thread and she spoke to a guy who has had 2 of them and she seems to have gone right off buying one. Taking her for a trip around today to look at some 80 series petrol on gas with all the fruit. I cant believe my lil sis is gunna have a vehicle I will JUST HAVE to teach her to drive. Her last 2 or 3 cars have been tiny little sporty things that fly but do little else. Thanks fellas.
