I'm new to the group, and am in the process of looking at a 95 Si. Any key things to look for. Right now I own a 91 Si hatch, and my girlfriend owns a 94 del sol S. The car I'm looking at has a whole lot of miles, and a bad paint job, but beyond that looks alright. But I figured the Del Sol crowd could warn me of possible trouble signs. If somebody could reply quickly it would be great since I'm going to look at the car today (Monday). Thanks in advance.

Watch the timing belt - Honda says to change every 90,000 miles. Otherwise, you may as well total the car. FYI - I also have a 95 Del Sol for sale. It's red, about 150,000 miles, in excellent condition - new brakes, exhaust, all maintenance and upkeep. Runs very well. Let me know if you have any interest. Madelyn Daley madelyndaley@...

As long as the timing belt is changed, as someone has already mentioned, and the oil has been changed every 3K miles, del Sols are generally unstoppable. You might want to ask the current owner if he/she has any of the maintenance records. When I bought mine, the guy came out with a folder with every receipt from everything he's ever had done to the car, from replacing the roof seals to every oil change it had ever had- all done at the dealer, too. I had NO worries buying that car! Melissa
