yea PHIL we could meet up sometime, I just need to get insurance first. I am with Dominion of Canada insurance and they are usually pretty cheap which is why Im with them. But when I was there today they were saying they have never run accross a JDM vehicle yet with a 10-digit VIN. so my broker is talking to the head office in Toronto and getting back to me on monday...im crossing my fingers that it works, its painful looking at the pajero sit in my driveway with no plate on it knowing that I can't drive it. I'm back to driving ol' faithful (my 1988 Ram 50 4X4 with 318,000km haha). I ended up paying $9500 for the pajero. I know I could have got it way cheaper if I imported it myself but I fell in love with this one and I had to have it. the importer I bought it from has another one for sale if anyones interested, its a 1991 aswell but its Automatic
You can get them cheaper by importing yourself but you assume all of the risk - the premium you paid was to avoid a delay and to mitigate that risk - I would gladly have paid more for mine, too, if I had been able to see it before I bought it.

1991 JDM SWB Pajero TD - Sold....
