Delica

Go for the 2.8l turbo ones with the manual 5 speed in em to hard to drive in the sand with auto trouble holding in gear

ask wolfie

great car and good allrounders...... however some parts can be hard to source.{ eg interior} ow ever the motor and drve line are all off the shelf stuff.

my pick.... auto turbo diesal with all the trimming in cluding captian seats and moon roof

There are 2 very different models. the early unit has the motor under the seat, the later has the motor under the dash. the early ones have a better turning circle because of the shorter wheel base, but the later unit has a much better ride and safety. Eric.

You are trading a very capable off road vehicle in for a more mildly capable vehicle off road.

1994 upwards are all good.

2.8 intercooled diesel. Auto is the pick. 4 x 4 is "Super Select".

Ground clearance is an issue, but can be remedied.

I know of no inherent problems that yell out at me, saying "Don't buy me...".

All round good cruising vehicle.

Actually , I would say , go for the 96 and above models.

They come with ABS, Airbags , Cruise etc. They tend to be a bit nicer.

I looked at trading in my Patrol on a 95 Delica last week.

Couple of things I didn't like were , No Cruise etc(can be fixed with aftermarket) , and check on the Stereo. The Jap stereos aren't any good for Aus. They need to be changed over.

I didn't like the moon roof option. Looked a little flimsy for my liking , and they aren't cheap to fix. The Captains Chairs though are EXCELLENT.

The 94 & 95 I looked at were $22. I have seen them in Sydney for about $18. The 96 ones seem to be around that $22-$25 Mark.
