Rep Power: 394 Sweet! I was going to get a Del Sol when I was in high school. My dad didn't go for it though. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] Good luck with it dude. Power is nice and it weighs less too! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Damn, he got a del sol like that? I'd take one of those still if I had a garage (I think it's gonna be filled with Hondas and Acuras). Those are nice! See if you can get pics of it. What color is it? What is it about the del sol he likes so much? I just like it cuz it's the nicest looking lil' thing I've ever seen in a car. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 ok here my opinion of why he likes it:
older guys are into older fast american cars right? well the del sol resembles the pontiac fiero, a faster rear wheel drive car, so in theory they would naturlly like the flat rear glass honda del sol which is a faster, unique car! just my opinion lol

Rep Power: 0 Wow, how did he cut it from 11,2 on the spot to only paying
5800 for it? That is some badass post-purchase haggling, hehe.
Or did he simply "make him an offer he couldn't refuse" with the
help of Lucabrazzi?

Rep Power: 0 Too bad that the Fiero was a Pontiac parts car... they pretty much said "hey, lets throw all these parts together and see what we get!" if i recall correctly, the early models had cooling problems and would literally CATCH ON FIRE!!! and its also a shame that honda replaced the CRX with a car like the del slo....

Rep Power: 0 << Why did they stop production on the CRX? Was it not selling? I think they should bring it back. >>
They just might, but probably not over here as you can read. Type R baby!

Rep Power: 0 Are you sure that your dad got a Del Sol Si? Because the Si is only a SOHC VTEC, pretty much a Civic EX. Now if your dad got the Del Sol VTEC, then you got a B16 with 160hp. So, which one did your dad get?

Rep Power: 0 Oh he got the one with 160hp...the reason at first i sed he payed 11,2 for it was there were 2 he was looking at....one was 11,2 with 34k miles on it and one was 5800 with 113k miles and he got the one with 113k miles...i thought he got the 11,2 one, he never told me about the second one...oh well we dont even have it anymore...he sold it today i was pissed...when i woke up it was gone and the was a check for 16000 on the table, so he sold it to a dude with lots of money that lives up the street...his daughter really wanted it and offered that for it, dad couldnt refuse, so hes got another car in the garage right now on loan from a dealer friend...its a 1997 bmw z3, so i hope he buys it...its like 18,990 i think. so it would only be about 3k more total(w/ 3.375 AL tax) so i dunno well see, i dont know if i like the BMW or the Del Sol better....i miss the del sol...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] you cant rice out a beemer...lol well any suggestions will help!
