Looking for advice. Im been looking for something to toy with for a little while now…my brother has been tossing around the idea too. Well we found a 94 Del sol local that has seen better days. Carfax says it was from VA and came here in 2008 It was involved in a series of 3 accidents. 2 in VA and 1 up here. The last one in 2008 the airbags went and hasnt been on the road since. From the last accident one of the wheels was pushed in so that could be a major fix The car has 97k on it but doesnt start Needs a fender, front bumper and a little rust on the skirts and rear quarter. Its a manual Color is dark green ASKING PRICE $400 Im thinking…why not. Its $200 each and if its more of a mess then we think maybe we could part it out. I could always offer him less… What do you guys think? Pick this up? Put money in the S2000? Wait for a 92-95 civic hatch to come along? HIT ME ---

My brother wants the del sol more then I want a del sol, but he doesnt have the cash for the car and parts etc. (college kid with book expenses etc) So in the mean time it would be “ours” but eventually he would buy the other half from me. Going halfies im not worried about. Plus id be able to work on it (which I want to) AND I would be able to prevent him from ricing it out. It would be a nice clean Del sol This [http://www.jdmimportcars.com/upload/honda/137/DelSolAug-1-08%20(2).JPG](http://www.jdmimportcars.com/upload/honda/137/DelSolAug-1-08%20(2).JPG) (without the tires sticking out dawg) over this [http://media.photobucket.com/image/del%20sol/jerrymartinez/del%20sol/del\_sol\_si036.jpg](http://media.photobucket.com/image/del%20sol/jerrymartinez/del%20sol/del_sol_si036.jpg) and lol this [http://www.blogadilla.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/x-wing-del-sol.jpg](http://www.blogadilla.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/x-wing-del-sol.jpg) Its the del sol and the history im more worried about ---

So you want us to tell you what kind of condition it’s in or something? Maybe you should have the car looked at by a body expert to determine if frame damage exists (which it most likely does). I’d be willing to be bet you can make a killing on parting the thing out though. ---
