Just be sure you check every system to see that it is operative. Check the condition of the dist. cap. -the wires - the plugs, filters etc. everything I mean EVERYTHING that is a normal yearly maintenance item should have been replaced that includes ALL fluids too. Get the vehicle inspected BEFORE you buy it but don't rely on the inspection to find everything.
Good Luck! David (92Sambar 4x4)

I've been running around in a supercharged Sambar truck for the last couple of weeks and it is a blast! There are a few Dias owners on the forum and I'm sure someone will chime in. What kind of driving are you planning to do with the Dias? I've heard a few grumbles about CVT transmissions so might be better to stick with a stick. Mine has a 6 spd with the ultra low first but I usually start in second gear. First gear only seems to carry you about 10 feet then your grabbing second! It's a nice quick tear through second and third gear and on to an indicated 140kmh. Pretty good for a 660cc brick! It's much more fun around town though, zipping through traffic taking the spots no one else can fit.

My wife prefers a manual as well which means I have to share my toys with her. At least she has no interest in motorcycles. The supercharged is a big jump in power from a regular minitruck. More Grins per mile without question. I have one SC Sambar in stock and another on the way. Let me know if you would like more info about these units. I could source a van for you as well if that would suit your needs better.

And to think I thought that I was married to the only woman on the continent that still prefers manual transmissions to slushboxes! :D Cool!
