I am looking for a Delica and am new to the search and the vehicle in general. I'm wondering if any of you lovely Delica folks are familiar with this importer and would recommend.
Thank you all!
 
I don't know what their car sales are like but I recently inquired about a set of lower transmission bushing mounts they had listed on craigslist Vancouver and they wanted $400 CAD + ship. Ouch.
 
I have purchased parts from them.. prices were high (however you will experience this in the US for these vehicles for most parts not shared with a USDM model) but products arrived on time and as expected. Also they were helpful on the phone a couple times. We have several other importers in Seattle if Rising Sun doesn't work out ( I am not one ;) ) .
 
Definately have been a good resource for parts for many of us in Seattle. Nice enough people, never dealt with them for purchasing a vehicle though.

We just bought our delica from Steven at Rising Sun!!! Steven is absolutely wonderful, he is very honest, patient, and knowledgeable. We initially went up to look at different model, which we were not in love with once we saw it in person. As we were chatting, we asked to see his garage which happened to have another newer, cleaner, more built up delica (and therefore more expensive). He politely said we wouldn't be interested in it because it didn't have the long wheel base like we initially thought we wanted. But looking at this newer, shinier delica, we instantly loved it. He never tried to sell or push this more expensive delica on us, he really wanted to give us what we had asked for but we were realizing we loved this new newer delica more. So we bought it! Steven added the roof rack for a small fee and threw in the hitch for free.

This last weekend when we went to pick up Dirty Durbin (the delica), Steven said he just got 7 new 1995 models in.

Let me know if I can answer any specific questions!

We also purchased our Delica from Steven at Rising Sun two years ago. He was SUPER nice to work with and our Delica is crazy clean. He does a ton of updates and maintenance on all the vans he sells (EGT delete, belts, shocks, etc.). We read some bad reviews online and were so thankful we ignored them because they were nothing like we experienced. I had to purchase some parts from him this year and he was again incredible to work with. Super helpful when I had questions. He knows Mitsubishi's and especially Delicas. He drives an L400 himself which always puts me at ease.
