Default Should i sell it or no?

I've been debating lately on should i sell my del sol or not. I really like this car and it's in tip top shape.
Previously owned by an old lady, all service records from honda dealer etc. Never winter driven. It's getting harder and harder to find these cars in clean condition especially here in Canada. The reason i'm thinking of selling it because i picked up an 1990 e30 325 is for the circuit racing. I'm slowly buildi ng it and as we all know cars are expensive. It's getting harder to pay attention to 2 cars at the same time.
I picked up del sol for $7500, yes i know i overpaid. The condition of it ment alot to me. It was bone stock. Now it has s2k seats, decent suspension and a t3 turbo.
I've been offered $6000 for it.
What do you guys think, should i sell it or not.
Here are some pics of the del sol




And here is a pic of my e30

i would say keep the del sol

i mean its clean man looks like nothing is wrong with it

im not saying what your building is bad but what if your working on it and its not running right you got the del sol as sort of a backup/daily driver

ive had the problem where i was working on my car and was in the middle of something and needed to get around and didnt have a second car

This is why i don't know whether i should sell it or no. I like having two cars in case i have problem with one. Bimers sometimes are tricky. And everyone knows hondas are bulletproof.
I just think that if i don't sell it now for that price i would never be able to get the same amount in the future even though i'm loosing money on this deal.
It's a fun car to drive in summer and it's rather quick on the street too.

keep them both . and get that discount for the insurance, multicar discount. If u sell it you will regret it. my friend sold his super clean crx, now hi kick him self in the ***. he cant find another 1 as clean as the 1 he had. and the new owner of the crx wont sell it back to him, he offered about 2 more grand over what he sold it and no luck. THINK ABOUT IT VERY CAREFULLY.

6K for it with all the parts? lawl.

Go look at autotrader, the cheapest del sol's are 3500-5k.

If your bimmer becomes a true track car, you can't really daily it. That's where your del sol comes in imo..

But if you really need to sell it, take off the turbo+seats+suspension(depending on what it is) and sell the car stock. Ask around 6-7k depending on km's.

I say keep it (im one on the ones that voted no ,lol). Here are a few ways to think about, which one will sell for more if you ever have to, cheaper parts to fix, easier to fix, last longer. They both look great but keep the sol.

I say sale the Del Sold and use that money u get out of it to bay a s52 or a s54 motor for it. I have a friend that did that to his E30 and that thing is fast, u will freak out if u do it, not a lot of people now that on s52 or s54 will fit in the E30 with small mods

I think you should keep the Del Sol, **** is clean.

I love that E30 man. My dream ride has been the E30 M3 for the longest time but it's just to hard to find them in good condition at a reasonable price, but then again they are classics.

Now i'm leaning towards not selling it. Thanks for the compliments on the del sol and e30.

I know those motors fit in there but i'd rather keep my m20 or get an s14 which is the best for e30 chassis since it has less weight on the front but that's only plans that are far from future. I can't use the money to spend on e30. I have bills to pay off if i sell the del sol.
That was why in the first place i wanted to sell it. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by mizzoEG &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I think you should keep the Del Sol, **** is clean.

I love the e30 m3 as well, can't afford $20 000 to spend on a 20 year old car. And again they are reallly hard to find overhere.

Keep the del sol. I have been looking for one cheap that I can restore and build but noone wants to sell them and when they do they sell them for all the money.

Keep the Del Sol. Nice Bimer.
