Hi All,
I've been coveting every Delica I pass on the street, and I've finally decided to seriously research my first.. I'm just going to start digging through the forums to get a bit smarter, but I would appreciate if anyone could direct me to some really basic FAQ stuff..
I don't expect answers to these questions right here, but some of the things I'll be looking in to are:
- Del-eek-ah? Del-ees-ah? Del-ick-ah? I'm so new, I don't even know how to pronounce it!
- A good rundown on the differences between models (L300 vs L400, what's the deal there?)
- Is there a good buyer's guide out there? I'd like to know specifically what sort of issues to look out for when I'm buying.
- Specs. Is there a good guide to specs of different models over the years..
- What kind of mileage is too much. I see 200,000 Km on a lot of the stuff for sale.. How high that gets before you have to start doing major work to it..
- What are repairs like, simple/complicated, and are they costly?
That kinda stuff..
If anyone has quick access to any good information in that realm, I'd greatly appreciate the head start.. Otherwise, I'll just start reading forum pages and get smart slowly. :)
Happy motoring --Jordan
