Hi,

I had a 95 Del Sol and was in an accident last month which totaled it. I am now looking for another one from 92-97. It's amazing how these little cars have such an impact on you. ;)

I have a few questions:

-I like the lime green color (Samba in 92,?? in other years). Which year models have this color?
-What's the average amount of mileage before you need to get a new engine?
-Are the 97 models that much different from the 92-95 models?
-Anyone know of any dealers that have a lime green Del Sol for sale?

Thanks for your help.

The Samba Green Sol's in the US were only available from '93 - '94 and were only available in the Si model.

Regarding mileage - if the motor is taken care of it'll last a long time. I've seen Honda's with 500k miles on their motors.

'96 - '97 models had a few minor differences, but overall were identical. Head over to www.teamdelsol.com and check the FAQ. It lists the majority of the differences.

I would check AutoTrader (http://www.autotrader.com) for Del Sol's for sale. I found mine there. Other people may have some other suggestions for you as well.

I have a 93 S that is Captiva Pearl Blue f/s. Is ready for a swap. Has 202K orig. miles. Has orig D15B7. Car runs great, selling for 2K OBO cause I got a 96 Si.

Hi,

Got the Del Sol car I was looking for a few months ago.

Thanks for all your help.

The thing circled in red is your intake manifold.

Lookin' good. :thumbsup: Looks like it was taken care of. Time to clean the motor bay and throw an intake on it. :D
