Looking for a red 1995 to 1997 del Sol (Si or VTEC) with a manual
transmission & air conditioning. Must be in very good condition with less
than 100,000 miles. I can travel to almost any location in the USA to see a
vehicle.

I have gotten the impression that the roof seals in the pre-95s were more
prone to leak than the later models.

Best regards,

1994 Civic del Sol Si, 144,000+ miles, doesn't leak a drop.

Applying silicone grease at regular intervals helps keep the seals in
good shape, quiet, and leakproof.

sooner or later, all Sols will leak when the chassis starts folding/flexing.

First: Do you have a name?

Second: Please don't shout (i.e. turn off your caps lock).

I am familiar with AutoTrader.com . I flew from Atlanta to Allentown, PA
about a week ago to examine a red '97 del Sol listed in AutoTrader that I
thought might work. After viewing this vehicle I have decided not to pursue
it further. AutoTrader has a lot of vehicles from dealers. I don't have a
problem with dealers but I would like to make sure that I don't miss other
possibilities. Hence this post.

As to my budget...

I will pay a fair price for the right car... perhaps even more than fair if
I find the right car.

Do you have a car to sell? ...or is there some other reason for this post?

Best regards,

Scott

I believe that Honda redesigned the roof seal system for the 1995's and
above. You asked why I was interested in only these years and that is why.
I suppose any vehicle that is folding will have difficulties of some sort;
whether they be leaks or something more... ahem... structurally dramatic.

:-) That might be a tad severe. It's correct of course, but in the same
sense that 'sooner or later, all cars will leak...', depending on how
'later' is defined. With the previously mentioned silicone grease
applied about 2-4 times a year, my 95 has never leaked a drop AFIK.
 
93 sol SI with 100K miles. no leaks yet.
