Default lmk what you guys think- honda del sol turbo!

so im selling my del sol s. its white and its turbo charge! the motor is around 140,000 mileage. the body is still in a decent shape. one small rust is appearing but can hardly see. its sitting on two 13inch steels on the front and two old school ls wheels on the back two front tires are still good. and this guy wants to buy it for 3000 or less for a turbo del sol! hes kidding me. i have a t25 turbo, dsm side mount intercooler. greddy b.o.v. and supra injecters. now the ecu is stock and no fuel management. oh the cars has a brand new act clutch disc and pressure plat. still haven't break it in yet. heres some pics. tell me, is 3000 too little? or my asking price which is 4000 is good or too high? i think its perfect for a turbo_sol. let me know guys!
these pics are not updated. i painted the corner light orange.

i'd say he's giving you a decent price on it.. yes it's turbo, but its a HMT setup with no fuel management. and the fact that its a del sol s

What year is it? I'd suggest looking up the blue book value on (www.kbb.com) and judging it from there. Personaly I'd take 3000 for it considering it doesn't have any type of fuel management on it.

Modding a car doesn't add value. And judging by that excellent splicing/electrical work off the O2 sensor he is probably nervous about inheriting someone else's headache.

oil feed line is huge, is there a restrictor on it?
do you have a check valve on your brake booster line?
at least cover up the crappy electrical connections with some loom

how does it even idle with supra injectors + no fuel management?

Im not hating on your car, just critiquing

its a 93 and yes i checked the blue book. yeah i know its a hmt but hey man its worth something too you know. i know that not having any fuel management brought the price even more down. i dont know guys. maybe ill just put in a fuel management in it and make it 4 thousand. thanks a lot guys for your honesty.

i wouldn't pay 3k for that, its one of the most ghetto bullshit i've ever seen. for all the reasons everyone else told you. oh and, nice air filter, is that off a screen door?

1). A t25 isn't anything special
2). You're running no filter on the turbo, so its prolly got at least SOME damage
3). The kit is a HMT kit and most likely with no management would be struggling to compete with a stock B16 in HP levels
4). The wiring looks VERY bad
5). The piping color doesn't even match
6). You are using grossly large connectors forced down with worm drive clamps
7). Worm drives don't hold well and destroy silicone couplers real quickly
8). The A/C has been ripped out of the car
9). You're missing a battery tie down (yes, this actually is important to battery life)
10). If you plan on any form of management, that O2 needs to be POST turbo, not pre

yeah man, you need to clean it up alot before you even think about selling it.

what is that "T" for in the brake booster vacuum line???

loom all the wiring, clean the engine bay, cover the rust on the manifold with some super high heat flat black. just make it look like you cared for it.

other than that the exterior is pretty nice

I bought my sol with a/c, p/s, a better turbo kit, a front mount, and fuel managment for $2500.. Maybe, just maybe, you should re-think your price. $3000 is an offer from someone on crack. Take it and run.
