Re: What model Del Sol to buy?
First, solgrl has a good point about the insurance. For your age I recommend getting the S model. I am 19 with a spotless record, and three different insurance companies quoted me at 1600 for 6 months of full coverage. It was quite a bit more for the Si and VTEC models. I don't know how insurance is in Canada but I'm sure it's very similar.
If you plan on doing work on the car, get an S model. I already found a junkyard that will sell me the entire rear suspension/brake system to put on my car for 300. I'm getting a SI trunk lid (with the OEM wing) for 150, perfect condition. And next summer I will purchase the engine to being rebuilding for a swap, though I haven't decided which one yet.
I got a 1995 Del Sol S with 190K miles, one owner, one minor accident, and minor dings and dents, almost perfect interior for 2900, 3300 after all fees. The car was missing two front light sockets? but got replacements at the junkyard. Yeah I replaced the auxillary bulb and it already burned out. Great fun car though.
