This place seems like serious business... i like it here

 

 

Does anyone know what happened to socalsol site? it's been down for about a week.

 

You mean this one? Team Sol Cal - A chapter of TSI

Works fine for me...

Otherwise i am not sure if this was the best place to post your question... Not trying to bash on you but for the sake of the forum try and keep it relevant. This is an appearance thread after all.

 

You guys seem like the crowd to help me out. Im going to look at this sol this weekend and I'm wondering what a reasonable fair price to offer would be. Its the cleanest sol I've seen posted in the area for a while thats for sure....so long as its not all bondo. Anyhow I posted a link below. Thanks for the help guys I'm hoping I can get into the Honda scene soon and this looks like a solid start.

1994 Honda Delsol V-TEC b16a

 

I don't know if that's the original engine as from what I recall b16a are JDM engines and the b16a2 for USDM came out in 1996. You might want to look up the VIN number if you can. If it's not the original engine most likely a swap. Also, you could forget about going by blue book values. Book value for that one would be like $1500? I wouldn't doubt if he's asking for double that.

 

I am slightly confused i was under the impression they didn't start the V-TEC line of Del sols until 95' in the states but i guess i was wrong.

Something to consider. AC, Cruise control, heated mirrors, all these are options not standard. So if those things matter to you look into it.

Ive been looking for another Sol for awhile. Here on the east coast a decent (rust free ish, Not beat to hell) Sol goes for easily 4k. I payed about that for mine (93' SI) but it had a recent motor swap (D16A) which is a JDM version of the D16Z6 that came in the car originally. It was also freshly painted and has a near mint interior (Only beat up thing is the floor mats). If i am right and they didn't start the VTEC line until 95' it maybe a 94' Si with a B series motor swap. It would be missing the larger disc brakes, rear sway bar, and things of that nature though. So there's easy ways to tell. It would also be apparent when you got the title but that would be a bit to late to learn the truth.

I had a buddy who sold an R-title, plasti dip painted, Ebay lowering spring, leaky roofed, 200k miles, OG motor, 94 SI for 2k....

 

Its original. In 94 there were 3 trim levels. The S, Si, and VTEC. The Si came with d16z6 and the VTEC trim came with b16a3. I have just had a hard time finding one that is rust free and clean. The owner said its a numbers matching car with all original body as well.

 

If hes telling the truth this car is quite the find. Especially if it is rust free, i am curious to know what he is asking for it? (Don't worry i wont buy it out from under you) if to far away for me to even consider.

 

Haha no worries he's asking 5,000.

 

I would call that fair, considering the condition of the vehicle. Being as its on the east coast. Your paying for emotional value though not so much the car itself. As stated blue book on these cars is like 1,500$ It really comes down to what the car is worth TO YOU.

 

what wheels are these? the cleanest set of wheels ive seen on a sol! Someone please help me here.

 

79k original miles-I've owned it for 12 years
Matching # D16 v-tech car
House of Kolor 3 stage paint. You name it, it's been upgraded



Never given any thought to the value

Any input?

 

Nice ride, very clean. Unfortunately highly customized rides like yours wouldn't hold value as much as you would think. But I think the demand would be high for Del Sols. Blue book is useless for our cars. I've seen beat up ones selling for 2 or 3 times what it's worth. You just need to find someone that would be willing to pay. Might be better to part out to get the most money back. Otherwise, see if you could find a sucker that would pay up.
Here's one that is way too much yet someone will end up paying for it

Thanks man-that's kind of what I was thinking. Just wanted to get a few opinions. I'm sure I'd regret it if I sold it...but figured I would see if some true Honda people would be able to put a price on it.

 

Correction

 

 

I am so glad you put together your car the way you wanted. I can appreciate the work that has been put into it. It looks like things were done right and not half assed. I really like the trunk set up. Looks good.

 

Thanks man

 

Which is that color?
Code?

Very nice. Was it originally white or you painted it? Aren't you a little low for daily driving?

 

faded R81 (milano red)?
