When you wanted to be an suv,but mama said be a van…
fiat fan replied to fiat fan's topic in MITSUBISHI
GL mirrors-17.5K Body beading- under 25K Rims-45K to 75K Tires - 65k Dunlop AT Japan Horn Genuine Jap Yellow fogs Paint touchup Bull bar paint Door cards- Head unit(Android) - 26.5K Speakers-15K Carpeting Coil carpet Tint Oil and filter change Air and diesel filter change Diff oil “Dunu” bush - 3K Ball joints Gear stick bushes Clutch adjustment Door pins and razors Rattle fix (seats and windows) Stronger Reverse light (cant see jack) Also some sound deadening would help. Reliable but loud engines for sure! Here’s what needs replacing and few mods. Will be keeping it as is for few years with minimal mods and such. If I do keep it for more than 10 Years, I will do a classy factory fresh restore on it. I guess time will tell. These have jumped in price like @Gummybr mentioned, thanks to a monk and a few guys who are heavy on Social Media. The more desirable higher specs and the english numbers go for a lot of money. The mintest examples ask anywhere from 6.5 to 9 Mil. Too much imo. Attached few pics taken soon after purchase. Any advices and tips are appreciated.

Thanks bro! This has the fancy seats but no cool box, can be fixed for not too much money. Your uncle must have had the star wagon, very rare and quite pricey. Although Lankans prefer the non sunroof versions, because most leak and are sealed shut by now. Seems you have some fun relatives 😁 Thanks bro. Pretty much a Palathsaba Pajero according to the FB pages. These were non intercooler, only the Pajero got them. It’s usually the big bars extending sideways that have cop issues. So far so good. Thank you bro! Haha Quite the odd Mitsu it is! coming up -
So I’ve done it again… Remember them reliable shitbox needed threads looking for every vans and shiiz? Well those won’t be necessary anymore. This is my idea of a daily as it turns out! It’s a 1988 Mitsubishi Delica (L300) P25V 4x4 4d56 Turbo A giant “bull bar” Ice cold D/AC 3WL and Bike threatening height and face. Ideal daily for Kandy. Pictures don’t seem to be uploading. Will write longer in the morning. Show some love jdm peops 😊

@Gummybr not Chamonix (kinda ugly tbh) but these are also reversible/movable/rotatable and the whole thing. These are Super Exceed seats off a star wagon.
-
@fiat fan are those seat covers ? or has someone actually "re-foamed" it? The seats look "kinda ugly tbh" is sort of because it has lost its shape. It should have a bit of a recessed look/shape to it at the middle instead of that humpy bench look.

A decent car costs around 3.5 million at maximum

🥹 If you can find a 406 Executive Diesel in good condition, go right ahead and buy it. Or else someone else will. They sell like hot cakes. Owners rarely sell, but when they do sell its gone fast Saw a K number example with beige interior go for 3.3 recently. If you cant find a diesel, buy a mint petrol. About 2.9 m for a good one. Please buy an Executive trim when going for a 406. Your Mother will really appreciate the heated seats and the back support etc etc. Beige interior and K numbers demand a small premium. The beige interior does look really good NGL. @AVANTE can show you some good technicians and the costs related to owning one. Or you can read my blog.- 7 replies

They are really nice cars. The 2015 3008 and the 508 really is above the 06/07 series.Electronics are the main let down tbh. The 2.0 Diesel version is actually very solid. Less issues overall compared to the petrol by a long shot. Owners hang on to them though. Very reliable and efficient on fuel. The 1.6THP is troublesome, but the drive makes up for it. That creamy torque really makes it a blast. Just drove from Kalutara to Kandy,such a pleasure. Ate the hills up no problem. Key is to getting a rectified 1.6THP Also it did 15kmpl on the freeway. 100kmph smooth driving. Your advice and input on Pugs are very much appreciated. After all you were the resident Peugeot guru on AL!!!

Another price update (508 1.6thp) Engine bottom mounts-35,000 New solenoids and misc on starter motor-18,000. New motor is 100k plus. A/C Blower unit- 50k as told. Will update. Cooling fan- 105k. Got me a mint recon from dubai for 45k. Mine is going through a full mechanical restoration due to being parked for months on end and a rat attack. Almost two months now. So far runs like a dream, Electronics are being looked into atm. Please use a covered garage and never let it sit on rain when possible. Also try to drive these cars as much as possible. Mine drove < 5000kms in 2022 and 800kms in 2023, that did not end well. The more you drive the less it actually goes wrong. Guy I know has a 3008 with 25k thats a real leda goda, another fella with a 100k plus 3008 runs like a biatch. Some parts mentioned were replaced for preventive maintenance.

Agreed not bad at all. The agents are absolute trash. I remember reading that thread of you test driving one. Nice cars but can be finicky if neglected.

i Would buy the Every Van.. Good Grocery goer and hauler. watchout for the Rubbery bits.. since those Sale ayyas haven't have a clue regarding them.. Corrosion usually starts from Door bottom. Im in the lookout for a shit box as well.. but thought of settling down for a Kelisa and thought of performing a bit of elbow greasing to fix it properly. House constructions has ruined my finances to the bottom 😒

Thanks for the support everyone.
So the prices have seem to shot up again this week because the unregs are up by 1mil and the beaters are up by 0.5 mil.
Spotted a 57- Hiace LH102 thats been converted to a 3L engine and full super custom conversion. Has some issues. So looks like I’m a Hiace convert now. Welp
