xer0sgirlx Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 ok, my fiance is xer0. he used to always be on here before he left for basic. and i was wondering if anyone knew what he wanted for a DelSol? he would try and tell me, but it's like jibberish. i want to get him a DelSol for when he comes home. he told me you guys could help me find a car (he thinks the car is for me). thanks.

xer0sgirlx Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 uhmm, maybe? i don't know what he was looking for and i want it to be a surprise so yeah. i don't want to just buy some random one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Well, EH6TD, or Texas Dan as I call him, does have a sweet sol, so he prolly wouldn't be disappointed with it. But to be honest xer0 was looking to get his hands on a 96-97 del Sol that was pretty much, if not completely stock (unmodded in case you're not a car girl) that deffo had a manual transmission and wasn't in need of too much work just to get it driveable. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick B. Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 First off, Welcome to Hondaforums. Im the guy that convinced Xero to go in the military for EOD school. He is a cool guy. Just find him an unmodified del sol with low miles. check autotrader and craigslist in your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxscaxx Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 ^highly improbable though. not many finds have that low of miles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS John Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Anything below 100k is low miles to me, when we're talking about a Honda. Look for the same things that you'd look for in a car to a certain extent. Ex: What condition is the body in, how clean is the interior/engine bay, how well was it kept up, how forthcoming is the previous owner with information, etc. Then just add to that xer0s tastes for a 96-97 (they won't have the two little circular aux. lights between the headlights like the one in my signature does) that has a manual transmission. Does he want AC, power steering, stock honda rims, etc? And what's his favorite color for them? I think he made a few threads in this section with possible sols he was looking at. Find them by going to his profile and clicking "find member's topics" and see what he was looking at and what he said about it. That should help too. Good luck.

CRG7 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 125k and under would be good, it'll be tough to find anything under 50k. I bought mine 6 years ago, and it had 59k on it at the time. I'm not sure what he would have wanted, but a 95, or 96-97 VTEC model would be ideal, or an Si if you can't find a VTEC model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuvision02 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Nobody has asked the one question that will change every perspective that will be taken into question, before narrowing it down to the few you will choose from; so I will. What is your price range? I think this will make things much easier, because then we can pretty much tell you what you can find for the price in terms of condition, mileage, and options. 50,000 miles and under, as CRG7 said, will be extremely hard to find. I bought my 1995 Civic two and a half years ago with 60,000 miles and it was fairly pricey for a 10 year old, at the time, car. Again, as CRG7 said, around 125,000 will probably be around the mileage you will be finding them for, depending on your price range. I don't really know too much about xer0, to be honest, I don't remember much at all, but I am guessing he plans on modifying the car when he gets it? That most likely means that mileage doesn't matter compared to the condition of the interior and exterior. I really wouldn't go too into it in terms of power steering, air conditioning, and other options. I would look for a clean car overall. It's a Honda, you can find all these options for sale on forums and install them yourself if you want them and don't have them; or you can take them out if you have them and don't want them.

airjordan223 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 i talked with him a lot about this before. ideally as stated before he would want a 96-97 si or vtec model in a manual transmission. but if you find an S model in those years without any rust and low mileage i would look into that.

Ben. Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I don't know what the sudden influx of people wanting Del Sol's is. My girlfriend is stuck on one. Preferably in that shade of blue that Solless has on his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 these guys dont know anything.. he was PMing me about this before he left. said he wanted a purple or brownish orange delsol with 18''+ chrome rims with any body kit already on. im pretty sure he'll be dissappointed with anything differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably in that shade of blue that Solless has on his. Maybe it's the warm weather now. Captiva Blue Pearl looks sooo bad on Sol's, IMO. Good on hatches, bad on Sols...

Col Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 125k and under would be good Don't for one single minute believe that all Hondas with 100k or 125k miles are going to be good. Just because they can last that long it doesn't mean they will. The important thing is to find out if they have been looked after for those miles. I am sure that he doesn't want to come home and find that you've blown a few grand on a peice of crap, so get any car checked out before you buy it.
