Sad to say Delsols are often overpriced when resold. You could probably do the same thing. Between $3-4k is the going price.

Overprice??? More like lesser quantity of them available. It's much easier to find a Civic or Integra than a clean Del Sol. Trust me, it took me almost 2 months to find mine.

I have to agree with the previous poster. Del Sols are rare (the newer the year especially). Finding a clean one without Z3 fenders tacked onto it or other ridiculous mods is tough. 3-4K seems reasonable. These are essentially the future CRX's.

Theres a difference between how much its worth, and how much people are willing to pay, if a guy puts 20k into a car, it would make it worth 20k+ the car, but would someone pay 20k for the car? No

a del sol s in excellent condition on kelly blue book is going for like 3100, so if it were me id pay like 2k

I know what you mean. By glancing at the local ads, it is easy to find some Del Sols here and there. However, most of them are either ragged out or riced to hell (nasty Z3 fenders, uglyass mufflers, "custom" painted interior trim pieces or some ICW "Tuner" rims). De-ricing a car is not cheap by no means.

Honestly, a 93 S is the absolutly LOWEST model there is.

Biggest peice of **** engine, not to mention the drums in the rear.

Also you say power everything? But I'm pretty sure "most" S models only have power windows (mirrors, locks, etc were an option IIRC but not likely on the S model)

Also the 93 was before they did the targa seal change, so the top probably leaks like a mother ****er.

What are your plans with the car? If your going to use it as a DD and do little to no modding pick it up.

If your trying to find a car to turn into an auto x / drag car pass on it, its ALOT of work to make an S model sol just up to par with the si / vtec models (i'm in the processes of doing it now)

Lol like what? New mounts and a LS motor? Seems pretty easy to me... Seeing since the fact i have 3 buddys who did it. Also Integra rear disc should fit on that bia pretty easy.. I'm sure the junk yard has some for cheap. Good luck modding it, it should be fun!

Actually there is nothing wrong with the car except the leaky targa top. We ripped out the D16Z6 already and are putting in a freshly rebuilt GSR. Anyone wanna buy a complete D16Z6 swap =D?

OP personally I would offer her around 2k for it since the cars are starting to get hard to find. You should be able to get a good deal since its family. Around Pittsburgh I will see a few sols posted on craigslist for around 2.5-3k a week.
