Wasnt sure which to use , carsfromjapan or mitsui.....although mitsui cost a little more , its worth it considering the prep they do....thanks !

I hear ya. I put about 1k extra into the van, that I didn't have to on the truck. So that balanced it what I would have spent extra at mitsui. Either way they are both pretty good to work with. Good luck!

Bought from Mitsui almost 2 years ago. Still driving my 1997 Daihatsu Atrai Liberno Turbo (two tone like the one at 14:42). The 2 front shocks were blown when I got the van, Mitsui quickly sent me some functional ones.

That's awesome! Great to hear that they took care of you on the shocks. I don't think many dealers would have done that

Thanks for sharing your Mitsui adventure! Their detailed photos, videos and their well laid out website was the biggest reason why I went with them. Their youtube channel is very active as well and I love watching all their new inventory roll in everyday. That was very nice of them to give out those custom plates because it was Black Friday sale exclusive!

Back in 1980's I owed a Honda 600 coupe, I loved it. My motorcycle engine powered car was awesome, even with 2500 for a full rebuild of engine / transaxle. I would love as a widower to get my hands on a mini in van configuration like KIKI

@@inkandpistons Since Texas made mini trucks legal for title, if you had a service where you imported them and titled them I'd be all over it. I think I'm too scared to go through the process on my own. Keep up the videos!

Hilariously timed - I was looking at Mitsui for the last couple of months debating on picking up a Kei van (I'm on the hunt for a 94 to 97 Daihatsu Atrai, with or without turbo) and they kept showing up with much better pricing and photos. Very responsive as well. Thanks for the video, hope you guys had a blast in Japan

I just ordered my first Kei truck. Haven't got shipping details yet but I have got an invoice. I'm located in FL (using Jacksonville port) & have a question. Can I use the invoice to title the vehicle or do I need a "bill of sale". Not sure what the technical difference is

@inkandpistons 4 ай бұрын

You'll probably get the bill of sale and the final invoice in the package you'll receive eventually with the title. I'm not sure which one they will require for registration.. possibly both of them. Invoice may contain stuff like shipping costs insurance etc. added in bill of sale will just be car cost . If not have them resend one . .. customs and the state SHOULD only charge tax on vehicle price not the shipping cost
