I Want to Sell My L400 this Weekend.

THIS WEEKEND ONLY - FLASH SALE

I'm selling to the first person to show up with $6,500+. You can pay more if you want, anything amount above $7,000 will be donated to Penticton SPCA. Compare my L400 to ones that are thousands more. Deal is for this weekend only, early next week only. I want it gone NOW so I have a parking spot for a KAMAZ. I'd like to sell to a Delica.ca member since they have likely seen my posts over the years and know what I have done with my van and as a Delica.ca member there is a high probability that you are an awesome person.

1995 Delica L400 LWB Royal Exceed
196,000 km
Runs and drives great. No rust. Some paint clear coat peel on roof and hood. Many upgrades. Only outstanding issues are front AC condenser fan need replaced and valve cover gasket is leaky.

Check out my add on Delica Trader and check out some of my Mod posts on this forum for more specific info or message me.

Lol not even a nibble all weekend. Someone missed out on a deal.

Feel bad taking an almost perfect condition rust free L400 to the scrap yard but I hate selling cars on craigslist.

Might wanna leave it on the forums for at least a week. Some people (like myself) might only check in the 9-5 M-F range, when we should be doing something else.

You can't be scrapping this gem for real? I understand that you've had quite a few issues but isn't more value to keep driving it rather then scrap it out? How much will a wrecker give you for it?

No vendors want to buy this beauty and mark it up 100%? Most of the hard work has been done. 8-)

Why are you ridding yourself of this albatross anyways? You got something new? Too busy buying and selling Bitcoins to play with it? Don't leave the forum- I will miss your whitty retorts.

I found a place to store the L400 for another month so no squish squash yet. I'd still rather just sell it now than pay for storage so it will be on the road until Saturday so if anyone wants a Christmas treat show up with $6000 by Friday and you have the best Delica deal of the year.

Don't forget it has such fancy treats as a Pro-Vent Catchcan, Boost Controller, LED dash lighting, New front Kicker 6.75" speakers, Autometer EGT gauge and Boost Gauge, Rear window tinting, LED interior lights in white AND red, Super heavy duty glow plug relay upgrade, and last but not least a $750 custom 2.5" free flowing exhaust.

As mentioned only outstanding issues are the AC condenser fan and valve cover gasket leak. ~$400 if have time to do it yourself, maybe $1200 if get a shop to do the work. Neither repair is critical either, can drive it just fine

So for at most $7500 you have a LWB L400 Royal Exceed with all the factory bells and whistles like heated seats and electric curtains and crystal roof + thousands of $ in upgrades that a dealer would sell for at least $13,500. I paid $12,000 for the van in March 2011 and have put about $4000 into it and have only put on less than 30,000km in that time.

Ho Ho Ho :-D

*If we had the fun member for sale area I wouldn't have to post in General. I can't figure how to bump my Delica Trader add up from the abyss.

I'm surprised no one is buying this to flip it. If I didn't have all my money tied up in my mortgage, I would be all over this!

I too, had a hard time selling my 97 L400 last year. It took months - even though it was in beautiful condition, and was thousands below what the dealer were selling them for. In the end, I sold it for just over $7000, which was only slightly more than it cost me to import it and do the compliance and repairs. At least I didn't lose money. I feel for you. I would buy it from you if I could - keeping my L300 on the road is all I can afford at the moment. Good luck

LWB's also sit on the auction block in Japan longer than SWB's. Tough luck PS, hope someone buys it soon.

Strange. I would have loved a Lwb over my short.
