Keiji22 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Yet... I can not find one in my area that is for sale. I check CL every day for the VW Kombi or Sambars... nothing has come up. I'd rather not spend $6000+ to have a newer one shipped to the US. Anyone in the Pacific Northwest know of anyone who has a Sambar they would like to sell or just one sitting somewhere? Engine doesn't have to be perfect, but I would seriously like to have one. Seems like a great little putter for long trips on back highways. Also, any issues with the vehicle that I should know about? Cool things people have done with them? Any help would be great! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're road legal in Montana and once in a while one comes up for sale. Watch the Montana CL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86HatchShelby Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Cape Ape Sales in Tillamook Oregon imports them regularly, and are fairly cheap. they have all makes. we drove a Diahatsu Hijet;) google them, they have Mattracks, Hilift's for hunting, lift kits, plows, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keiji22 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Do they ever carry the microbus version of the Sambar? I'd jump all over it if they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zefy Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 canada has lots... come and get one. here is a company that specializes in them. http://www.japanoid.com/ they charge a fair amount however they do all the legwork for importing them. read the FAQ for importing the the states from canada. also there are a bunch on craigslist. I would also look at some of the non-subaru ones. they're pretty much all the same. we had a sambar at the vancouver auto show displaying some of the roof racks we sell... it was pretty sweet, 4wd 660cc supercharged ecvt. it also had a full VW van body kit on it so everybody was really confused as to what it was.

SubPar Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I saw a 1992 Mitsubishi Delica Exceed in Portland last week. It had B.C. plates on it, so I'm guessing it was the same one listed here.

Ratty2Austin Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Come to Carter Subaru in Shoreline (just north of seattle) they have a MINT white 1970 Van, just parked in the shop... the owners have decided that they dont want it on the show room anymore so it is for sale now.. they have not listed it anywhere as far as I know, but if you come up here I bet you can get it for a decent price! trust me, this one is nice!

I'd love to have a 4wd subaru van with all the newer creature comforts... maybe somebody I can import one or they'll make one for the US by then... --Spiffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
