I've been looking for a little jap. mini truck, and I finally found a couple. here is my problem.
1) 94 Suzuki (prefered maker) 3 in lift two sets of tires (atv and hwy) title in hand runs great, new clutch, new brakes.
2) 94 Mitsubitshi runs good stock suspension, comes with a 96 Subaru Mini truck that needs and engine, lost title on both and the seller is in germany (being sold by a mutual accuantance)
Both trucks are the same price and same mileage, I can get a replacement engine for the extra truck for about $700.00 sell it and make my money back, but titleing the trucks might be an issue until the guy gets back from germany this summer.
I can't decide what to do and i need to make a decision by Sat. A.M.

If it were me. No title, No deal. Have been down that road before. While everything did turn out fine it was a huge PITA for quite a while.

Get the Suzuki and avoid the pain of trying to register the Mitsubishi. I see these things for sale up here all the time and have considered buying one but I don't know if it would go to some of the places I hunt without major stuckage.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Just saw one of these today. Pretty neat little truck. It was being used by a landscaping company on a construction site.

Without a title it could be hot. If it's hot, your money is gone. I wouldn't touch it.

Run from the Mitsi...it will be notng but a pain in he rear, even if it was in perfect shape. Suziki all the way on this one & the fact it has almost as much aftermarket support as a toyota truck.
Did I make you cry......boooo hooo, life goes on.

ended up buying a subaru, it has only 13,000 KM. Drove it 50 Miles home and and frankly it drives better then my Old 1/2ton ford. This little truck is really pretty cool.

I've been intrigued by those things since I first saw them driving around. How's the fuel milage?

A Subaru engine is good for 300K. I've had 3 of them over the years. Mine were all the car version which were pretty good except for ground clearance. They were highly reliable and got really good mileage.
