Used 1991 Mitsubishi Delica – Already Registered for sale in San Luis Obispo, CA

The visceral appeal of this rugged adventure mobile is undeniable. These vans were not made for the US market. They are in use around the world as overland adventure vehicles. This particular Delica made its way from Japan to Canada, then finally to the US. It is registered in California and has California plates, which can be a tricky thing to accomplish. Some people who tried to get a Delica registered in California found that they couldn’t get it registered without spending thousands of dollars on CARB compliance. If you buy my van, you don’t have to worry about that risk.

It is an L300 generation (P35W HSRPT platform) with high roof and Exceed trim level. It has:
• 2500 cc diesel engine (4D56)
• Automatic Transmission
• 4x4
• Right-hand drive (which gets people’s attention)

Other features include/added within the last year:
• Starter
• New alternator, plus extra alternator
• New oil pump
• New Ignition wiring for headlights and fog lights
• Pullies, including balancer pulley
• Refurnished radiator
• Oil pan
• Diesel pump
• Upper and lower ball joints (included, but not installed)
• Rear main seal (included, but not installed)
• Water pump
• Aftermarket 2” exhaust
• Shop manual
• Audio head unit for Android and Bluetooth
• 2” lift with ProComp Shocks
• Snorkel
• 1-1/4” receiver hitch
• Cargo box, but no rack
• Battery, plus extra battery (not installed)
• Only driver and passenger seats - no back seats, but has rails for back seats. Also has two uninstalled rear jump seats from an L400. Rear is a cargo area with plywood floor covered in vinyl sheet. It is ready to convert to a camper.

This is a 28-year-old vehicle. It is in fair condition; it runs and drives, but it could use some refurbishment. It has 201,000 miles on odometer. Issues to address are:

• Rear main seal leak (you can still drive it, but it drips oil)
• Tires are close to done
• a/c not hooked up (unsure if it works)
• Some dents and scratches
• Windshield crack

All-in-all, this is a fun unique car that runs and drives. If you are willing to put work into this Delica, it can be an awesome “Van Life” rig.

I am not in a hurry to sell, so I will respond to insulting offers by ghosting you.
