Re: Room for baby seats?

Hello everyone, I am living in Japan now and will be moving back to Ontario temporarily in Feb 2008. I plan to export a vehicle to use in Canada and then sell before coming back to Japan. I am interested in a Delica, but I need to know if it can fit five child seats - yes FIVE. Our oldest will be 5...

Re: Greetings from Japan

Thanks - I am still having trouble getting accurate information here but I was quite certain that I need to work under the 15 year rule - I prefer the older model Delica to the newer ones anyway. I am still not sure if I can trade mine in for one with lower kms before I leave Japan or if I must own...

Re: Greetings from Japan

sorry, completely wrong here, LHD or RHD is completely irrelevant, the only way to bring in a newer than 15 year old vehicle is either to meet the criteria I listed above, or to be the original manufacturer, certifying that the vehicle meets CMVSS, the vehicle can never have been sold at the retail...

Re: Greetings from Japan

Welcome. I may be incorrect, but I thought I had read somewhere that if you live in Japan for more than a year and owned a vehicle for over a year (with proof of course), you are able to by-pass he 15 year rule and import your own car back to Canada. It's possible that I heard about this through my...

Re: Greetings from Japan

Nice to see another 'family' of vehicles include a Delica and 1st gen Prius! Good choice! ;-) Ours has been totally trouble-free... the only thing it needed was the normal 12v battery replaced, which happened about 3 weeks ago. Our Prius is white too - its considered second generation here because ...

Re: New to Delicas and new to the country... and some canada Q's

Western and northern Japan get a lot of snow and has severe ice conditions. I have the cold weather version of the Delica '92 Exceed in Japan and I have never had a problem starting in -22 temperatures - that's about as cold as I have been here. I make sure that the plugs have a chance to heat up an...

Greetings from Japan

Its great to see a Delica forum for Canada! I looked a few years ago but didn't find this place so I've only been reading about their increasing popularity in Australia, New Zealand and in the UK. I've living been in China and Japan for 22 years and will move back to Canada with my family in the Spr...
