thats really cheap though, if you find them in good condition they are more like 6000-8000 for the b16

I bought it for $3250. Was a Del Sol S converted to a b16. Still power everything, etc....came with white leathers seats (i think from an accord), then i sold those and bought real del seats (man, feel sooo much better) You really have to search long long long time to find good deals, or just come upon them. It ain't easy. GOOD LUCK ALL
