Default My First Sol

Hey guys, Ive always wanted a del sol, since I was like 15.
Im now 19 - after going through a 240sx and an Integra, I was looking for a new car.
Sosl don't exist here, theres like two.

Checking autotrader.ca - all 5 grand and higher. I had 2500.

Then bam

1993 Honda Del Sol S

Yeah basic trim - go fig.

2400 bucks!

So I checked it out, looked fairly clean other than two concerns. Which you can see in the pics. 217 xxxkms, runs mint, no tranny or engine concerns.
Check it!












Its gonna be a yearly dd, yeah even my canadian salty winters. Woo swaps, No b16, b18 no h22's.
A stock d15 is fine with me, I deliver pizzas and Im going to be a student next year so money cant be thrown around too much. Plans? Rims, maybe coilovers and I really want to fix those god damn seals, holy shit looks like someone burnt them out of anger and frustration.

So what are my options for the seals, 1 grand spent? I unnooo.

OH yeah, the only problem that may need to be fixed for cert is the power windows, they do not work. At all, nothing makes sound or anything - front an rears. Any thing I shoud look for?

Lol I already bought it. Its canadian. 2400 is a steal. One here was going for 7 grand and it was a 1.5 too. It just had small aftermarket parts.

the seals have to be purchased as a kit, no way around it, but your gonna need them by the looks of the ones on the car.

Haha really?

Honestly I dunno - it must be cause its canadian.

I sold a teg with mucho rust for 2200 and it had 235 xxx kms.

I basically traded it for this car - and for canada. This would seriously go for 3500 -4 grand EASILY.

Er way - got some rims today. 17' White ADR GTSPORT
