Default Buying a Sol Vtec

I have a buddy here in cali that has a 94 sol vtec for sale. He told me he would let it go for me at the price of 3k. It has about 145k miles on it and I currently drive a 92 Si hatch with WW lip kit all around and a spiffy duck bill. I was wondering if I should go for this.. it has afew dings not bad and interior looks good. For that price im very ecited to find a sol vtec but the mileage concerns me a bit. I just wanted a bit of input. I do love my hatch but I will be selling it to get the Sol. I havent posted on HAN in ages.. last time i did was on civ forum. Thanks for any heads up.

Damn, if you weren't all the way down in the Sandy Eggo, I might have been interested in your Si hatch...not to replace my Sol, but to be brought in as a sibling.

As a Honda owner, you should know milege really means jack. Treat the car and engine right, it'll last about forever.

regardless of mileage. do you want a sol or a hatch, thats what matters. thats the beauty of honda and acura. you buy the body and you can have whatever engine youd like.

whats hard for me is that i love both and appreciate both. i love my hatch.. absolutely love it but... i think a sol could be fun too.. and when done right they look great. I just took another look at it seeing as how its my coworker.. looks like my hatch is officially for sale

hatches are nice, but i love my sol more than anything, at first i loved it, then was like hmmm maybe ill sell it, but then i realized i like it way too much. it doesnt really look like anything else out there. also, like you said, when done right, they can look awesome.

keep both :rick:

that price is good, i payed double that... but i also had less miles. in the end go with what you feel, and i suppose that would be towards the sol... if you lived closer i would get that hatch as well, just to have another ride.
