(testing waters) WTT 1993 Del sol Si for a Prelude
I have a Milano Red Del sol Si with very low miles in pretty good shape which I would like to trade for either a Prelude Si or VTEC (4th gen) or any 5th gen Prelude. IT MUST BE MANUAL. It will have to be in good shape as far as the body goes. I can fix minor dents and dings, but I want something with decent paint and either no or very minimal rust.
Also, my car has VERY LOW MILES - I need something just as healthy in return.
GOOD-
ZERO ACCIDENTS - perfectly clean title, totally legit (terrible I have to specify that)
Overall body in great shape, tiny amount of wheel well rust has been removed.
Custom 2.25" exhaust, no fart can
Very low miles (94,xxx)
Has never failed to start
Lowered on Ksports
New tires
New brakes
new rear struts
strut tower brace
nice red paint
Enkei RS6 wheels
extremely reliable
MP3/WMA/USB/CD audio system
A/C system is present and charged
just flushed trans (yes, manuals need it too)
trans shifts smooth, no grinds
Always used Mobil 1 synthetic
BAD -
headlight got hit by rock, has tiny hole (filled with silicone)
never got a chance to finish repairs and repaint in wheelwells.
Glove compartment needs a new bolt somewhere or something, it's loose
A/C will need some wiring to work
Background -
The car has 94,xxx miles on a stock D16Z6. It is a manual. I just changed the trans fluid with Honda MTF about 800 miles ago. In my entire time owning it, it has never failed to start. The car is lowered on ksport springs and has brand new KYB rear struts. Front struts are whatever I got on it, but they still work fine. It has a custom header-back 2.25" mandrel bent exhaust w/ cat-delete. It sounds nice, smooth and deep, not buzzy. Has resonator and muffler, not stupid fart can.
It has a DC strut tower brace and a no-name short-ram intake. The air conditioning is charged but does not work due to a wiring fault (who needs A/C in a convertible?).
The wheels are 16" Enkei RS6's riding on Kuhmo Escta somethings... (ASX, I think) P205/40 R16. Rears have about 75% left and fronts have about 85% left (just rotated). They are summer compound and therefore some steelies w/ tires are probably a good idea if you plan on driving in snow. On a good note, these things stick like glue.
Brakes are disk all around and have new rotors and new Wagner ThermoQuiet Ceramic pads.
Audio is a MP3/WMA/USB single DIN of unknown origin. It works. Speakers are stock to the best of my knowledge.
Now time for some pics!
Around the car -






LOW LOW MILES!

Stereo, 5-speed

Under Hood

Engine code

Springs (no Ebay ****)

Custom Exhaust




(you can see one of the new struts in this pic)
Close up of wheel/tire/brakes

Headlight damage (very minimal)

Unfinished repairs (removed all rust but did not finish fill/primer/paint)


As you can see, she's still doing quite fine and I have always tried my best to take care of her. However, I think it's time for a change and a new platform, and since I commute to school in a public parking lot, chances are some unwanted attention will eventually set in. I have no garage so that tends to be a problem. I want someone to be able to take it that has a better situation for this kind of car than I do.
Show me your offers - Remember, must be a 4th/5th gen manual Prelude in good shape with an H-family engine (or an F20B VTEC).

Vehicle will come with an extra set of Del sol Seats (in addition to those in the car), an extra Si Cluster, and an extra set of taillights. I mean, if I were to trade for a Prelude, I'd have no use for a buttload of Del sol parts.
