I'd give him whatever blue book value is for the car. Or nothing at all. Aftermarket parts don't add value to the car.

hmmm interesting, i'll try to talk him down a bit. thanks guys

sounds umm.... ricey if you ask me, i'd go as low as you can because of the cheap parts used and well they (aftermarket parts) dont incease the value. good luck, get some pics when you can https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

that's a pretty shitty deal IMO. i say just get a bone stock del sol and start from scratch rather then pick up someone elses left overs.

Re: Thinking of buying this del sol... (snuggles)
 

i say find the price of the car and then add half the price of the motor to it then subtract what you think the price of the rice is on it and pay him the number you get. Either way paying 7000 for a fixed up and most likely raped del sol is way toooooo much.

Re: Thinking of buying this del sol... (snuggles)
 

yea man i wouldnt pay that for it, i might give him 5 just cause you can sell the kit and all that stuff. Im not a big fan of sols though, i had one and just traded it for a ls swapped hatch. I love the hatch, more room, lighter, and i think just doesnt look gay.

Re: Thinking of buying this del sol... (snuggles)
 

yea, $5k max, the only thing worth anything on it is the motor. The only del sol I would consider near $7K would be a perfect condition stock 97 VTEC model.

Re: Thinking of buying this del sol... (snuggles)
 

Tell him that if he returns it to stock you will give him $5k. Other than that I think you will be sorry. Shady deal! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emthdown.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emthdown.gif
