There's a couple Delicas and Hiaces around town in Evergreen, CO. I have always loved these and was chatting with an owner at an ice cream shop last summer, he was on his 2nd imported Delica after restoring and selling his first. He convinced me that with limited time, access to tools and parts, and general mechanic knowledge (I can change oil, battery, starter, that's about it) that it's probably not something to wade into. Something he pointed out that I never considered is that even diagnosing issues can be troublesome considering OBD2 isn't on many of these and/or they use a different protocol so you need a specific scanner to get codes.
Ended up getting an '06 Toyota Sienna AWD and putting a Traxda 2" spacer kit on it with bigger tires to get the ground clearance we wanted. My wife loves it!
