Should I..

[mike09]

should i get this del sol??

 

 

 

 

the guy is asking 3000 for it.

 

 

he says

 

"stock dx motor

aircondition blows

coilovers(after market)

ls mesh brand new tires

carbon fiber hood

brand new pioneer radio

gsr seats"

 

I'm not really sure, this would be my 1st car.

But im really debating on wheather i should get it or not.

 

any help? thanks.

[airjordan223]

hmmm, stock dx motor? so he swapped in one? also find out what brand coilovers they are and how many miles are on it. also looks like the rear bumper is sagging

[TS John]

Go and look at it and drive it if you can.

 

Sols are great but buying a messed up car kinda sucks. Make sure it's not messed up.

 

Love those wheels, though.

That would be the smart thing to do.

"stock dx motor

 

so is it a

D15B7

D16Y7

or

D17A1

 

so in ether case if its a D15B7 or D16Y7 its the stock motor for a "s"

and if its te d15b7 its the stock for the first gen sol.

 

if it is a swap, first thing is why

then again it might jsut be the stock D15b7 and the guy is an idiot

[SolLesHonda]

D15B7 is a DX motor.

 

He didn't swap anything in it.

[mike09]

You say it will be your first car if you happen to get it, as this is your first car, you'll get in and drive it and think its the best car in the world, so get a mate or two to come along with you to get it all checked out, and make sure your friend knows a fair bit about engines, what to look out for and so on. it looks like a nice car though, a few bits that need neatened up, but well, good luck!

 

 

Thanks he said it would be 3000 w/everything

and 2500 without rodio, rims, cover.

 

EDIT***

 

Got more info

 

"standard. runs great, ac ,electric windows, gsr seats carpet is new

just perfect.

kill switch so no one can steel your car.

brakes are good the top is clean also comes off.

lights work good.

suspention, coilovers mean if you to lower your car or higher your car any time."

yea, same as most people said, find out the miles, drive it and those transmissions are known for the "third Gear Grind" if you can take it down a hill and let it chill in 3rd down the hill, letting the engine hold you back... make sure the transmission doesn't pop out of third while doing this (mine did soon after i got it) that would be a big one, but yea that and check what the hell is up wiht that rear bumper. and i have always wondered what a red del sol would look like with those wheels... im impressed, i like it. oh and that reminds me, the coilovers may seem good, and they are unless it doesn't have a camper correction kit of some kind(if not you could always add this, its not that hard, thn get it aligned) , and every time you change the height it will throw your camber off. if your camber is off your tires will ware badly on the inside, and even though the car is lower, it will handle worse if it's not corrected because your tires contact patch with the road is incorrect.

Good luck with the dicision though, i love my delSol.

UPDATED!

 

now hes selling it for 2500

no more carbon fiber hood or those nice wheels =[

 

[TS John]

I'd say no CF hood like that is a plus. The wheels can be replaced with ones you specifically choose.

 

That's a good price for a sol in good condition. Go see if it is in good condition and jump on it. They go fast.

yea i like cf hoods, but not with the heat extractor vent like that one had. i was kinda attached to the wheels on it though.

and yea, great price if its in good shape.
