I actually walked right by this a few days ago and saw the for sale sign. Didn't have a chance to take any pics, and now I found the CL ad for it. If anyone is interested I may be able to look at it for you.

I might be selling mine soon. Maybe not as cool, but probably better maintained, and lower mileage at only 105k km's or so.

Delica used market is nuts! Buy a Gen1 Montero for less than half the price, it's the exact same chasiss underneath.  Even the nicest Gen1 montero on BaT goes for less than $10k:

In reply to engiekev :

Nobody buys a Delica because they're excited about the chassis. They buy it because they're excited about the space ship on top of the chassis. I still want one.

My neighbor owned one for a year and DDd it.  He loved it except for driving it in DC traffic.

There are a few around here. I see them as off road camping vehicles more than anything. 

 

That one is pretty over priced though. There is a nice one on BAT right now for what will probably be a lot less: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1989-mitsubishi-delica-3/

Not the same chassis at all. The Delica, and Montero might share drivelines in some countries, but are quite different. The Delica is a unibody van, the Montero/Pajero is a BOF SUV.

My mistake! I assumed the chassis was similar, since they shared many powertrain and other parts.

I agree the Delica buyer is looking for a different experience than a Montero buyer, both are capable off road but with different approaches and style.
