1998 Mitsubishi Delica

Purchased this van in Vancouver, BC, Canada.  I bought it from an importer who just had it delivered from Japan.  I purchased it in 2019.

Immediately after purchase, I put in $6000. CAD, to fix everything that needed it.  Since then it has had regular maintenance, and anything that needed attention got it.  A side window fell out on a road trip, and that was replaced.  It came with a different tint from all other windows.  You can see it in the photos, the window behind the driver.  Last winter, the radiator gave out, and that was replaced.  When I purchased the van, the AC did not work.  I purchased an after market compressor, and had it installed, but it also did not work, and the shop I bought it from would not replace it.  So I never perused it.  The AC does not work.  There have been no other issues with the vehicle.

The van runs beautifully.  Starts every time, even in sub zero weather here in MI.  It has had regular oil changes.  It has a crystal light roof.  (All shades open and close perfectly).  New fuel filter last year.  (The shop,that replaced the filter did not reset the l indicator lights on dashboard, so they are illuminated).  New air filter last fall.  Got hit with a rock on the windshield this winter, so it has a new windshield.  New off road tires one year ago.  New HD battery this winter.

There is no undercarriage rust.  There is a rust spot, center, just above the windshield.  This is from the sun roof leaking.  (I disabled, and sealed the sunroof, so it no longer opens).  There is also some rust starting towards the rear of the roof.  The remote to open doors no longer works, but if you lock/unlock the driver door, it actuates the other doors.

I have decked out the van for camping.  It seats 2 passengers.  Behind the seats is a bed, with folding mattress.  The bed platform folds out of the way, and provides lots of storage underneath.  I have wired all lighting into a Jackery solar generator, both 12v and 110.  The Jackery is direct-wired to a plug on the outside for easy recharging.  There is a refrigerator, which is connected to a separate deep cell battery.  The battery is connected thru the Jackery for charging.  There is also a diesel heater, which is powered by the Jackery.  It has an onboard diesel tank, separate from the vehicle’s tank.  It can be turned on by remote, so you can preheat the van in cold weather.  There is a 42 ltr water tank with spigot.  Also comes with Thule roof racks, and a roof basket.  And a side awning, and awning room (8’ 5” x 8’ 5”).  It’s the perfect set-up, and you can get to some very remote places in this van.  It will climb anything.

I have all original seats, if you’d like to restore it to original seating.
