Default Which '93 Del Sol?

Which of these should I buy? I want something that's gonna last, and I plan on installing many performance parts including headers, exhaust, and intake. I like the black one because it has about 35k less miles and is rust-free. I like the red one because it has the bodykit and lambo doors which are both pretty pricey.

Which should I buy and why?

I think your Caddy is better than both. Put a corvette motor in it.

I know the caddy is MUCH faster, but I cant deal with 15mpg anymore haha. and there's nothing for direct-fit performance parts, not anywhere ive looked anyway.

Well keep it cuz thats a cool car.

If you are looking for a Honda, look for one that is stock, look for one that has service records. If you plan on doing upgrades you might as well start with a B series. SOME del sols have a B16. You can try to find a 99-00 SI. Personally I'd look into an Integra GSR if I were you.

The D16z6 and y8 are good motors, but you need to turbo them if you want to get any performance out of them. If not do a swap. AVOID an already swapped B-series Civic UNLESS it was a legit job, and done correctly. Most are hacked. Be careful on CL. Hold out and look for a great example.

The red one all the way. The lambo doors and the bodykit makes it worth a lot more. Better bang for the buck. It's a steal man. Get it before someone else does.

@furious94ls I appreciate the advice. most helpful advice I've got so far. I might keep the cadillac. Ill probably put it up on craigslist for a very high price and see if i get any buyers, and if not ill keep it. ive emailed the sellers asking what engine they have, so ill get back with that when i get replies.

What gave you you're first clue? The lambo doors or the Supra wing?

I would go with the black/grey one as the red one I am sure has some hard miles and just looks dumb.. But both I would talk down as I wouldnt pay that much for eather... A stock car that has 200k miles but driven by a old person will always be better then a riced out car with 120K miles and a teenager... just my 2 cents
