Selling my 1992 Mitsubishi Delica. Bought it earlier this year and it has taken me on some awesome adventures, but the time has come to part ways with it. It's straight from Japan, with original owners manual, jack, tool kit, and parking stickers! It's the high roof version with seating for 8 friends and gear.

It's an awesome little van. Slightly smaller and definitely faster than a vanagon. I average around 20 mpg depending on speed and driving style. With the 4WD LO it has gotten me to some camping spots that many other cars wouldn't be able to get to. This summer I drove it all around Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. It feels like a safari adventure wherever you go. Will cruise at 70 (not uphill though). Suspension rides great and the rear leaf springs are brilliantly designed in terms of handling weight. Brakes work well. Comes with a clean Colorado Title and snow tires!
Problems:
Slow drip at the transfer case/driveshaft which will require a new seal eventually (~$20)
Once in a while the starter spins, I believe it's because the flywheel is missing a tooth or they aren't sharp enough to catch the starter anymore. Doesn't pose a problem, when it does this I just put it into reverse (shifts flywheel slightly) and it starts.
It's 25 years old, the paint has some imperfections and scratches, and the interior has some cosmetic wear.
Small spots of rust here and there, but nothing past surface.
Not interested in trades, sorry.
Van is sold AS IS. I cannot offer a warranty on a 25 year old vehicle. It's been super reliable for me and it gets treated like family. Van does not come with stuff on top of roof rack in the adventure pictures.
