Van for sale, $4500.00 ONO

[Edbear]

A mate of mine is finally selling his one owner 1990 Mitsi L300. It's a 2lt petrol, 5sp column shift. Done 192k, it's in fabulous condition and I would really like to get it for myself, but haven't got the dollars at present.

I thought someone may like it for a camper or bike carrier? Comes with a rear bench seat, alloy wheels, bull bars front and rear, towbar and roof racks.

No power steer, or air-con being NZ new in 1990, but the steering is light anyway.

I'll post a few more pics of the interior.

Here you are.

I was going to call it a "pedo van", but then I saw pics and thought "Damn, that is clean" :shifty:

[nzspokes]

I had a new one of those then the later one. Great vans.

My employer had some of these, 2 litre short wheelbase. When unladen they could light up the tyres in just about any gear

It's not short of power, that's for sure. But as with all vans, light in the rear. I used to chuck a couple of sacks full of sand in the back of my old Bedford.

They go really well, ad long as there's no rust around the roof and the water pump and cam belt have been done when they're meant to be, it'll be a good reliable van forever. It still isn't $4.5k though. $4k absolute top dollar bro.

I don't know, I offered my bike at $10K on here and had to accept $12.5K not on here, whatever a vehicle sells for, seems to be the market value.

When the same money will fetch a diesel Hiace that's newer, that market is limited.

[Edbear]

Drew's right. But that's why I put ONO on it. The owner can come down but can't go up.

What makes this one attractive is being one owner, low k's for the year, serviced from new and the colour plus extras.

And a new battery?

well, i was going to offer you five and a bag, but the colour!! I mean, wow, there's the asking right there.

[Edbear]

Funnily enough, I think it does have a near new battery!

Hard to find a van that tidy...

A mitsy with 192k on the clock, if it doesn't look like a 2 stroke heading down the road it's well overdue.....

They get smokey if they're not looked after. They seem to be very sensitive to a lack of oil changes. The valve stem seals are made of chocolate I think.

[Luckylegs]

A church Mate??? - Needs something with more seats for alter boys?

It's not a 500k wound back Jap import. NZ new, one owner and serviced from new by the book.

Yup, but serviced properly they're reliable. I would buy it myself right now but haven't got the money. Or rather, the money is needed for more important things than a spare vehicle at the moment.

...it's a fucking old van in good nick...a year outside and it will just be a van...3k...

Yep, and we've had mitsi's at work from new, which have been serviced by the book, and they've turned into oil drinking smoking piles of crap.

Nice tidy van, just made by the wrong company, if it was a toyota it would be good for another 200k

Longer. Even smoking like a train they'll start every day, ready for a thrashing.

Could always part it out if that were to happen.

[BuzzardNZ]

Ed, does it come with a Fire and Light™ warranty?

[Edbear]

Sure is. I haven't seen one for a very long time.

It's a good buy for carting bikes in, even tow a trailer.
