Default i need ur guys opinions

as some of u know my civic was stolen however it was recovered.... it needs gauges, a head unit, and a new igniton cylinder... i plan to repair it and sell it.... i saw a sweet del sol today that a guy is selling and i test drove it.... i dont want to buy a lemon so i want ur guys opinions although i know its hard to tell without seeing the car, i drove it today and it runs nice... engine idled perfect and switched gears smooth (5spd)... the right passenger air bag is missing and it has a momo steering wheel... although i do not like the idea of not having a airbag i still love the car... it has 99k on it and its a 94 .. guy wanted $3500 but i got him to settle for $2800 cash....it has kyb struts and h and r lowering springs... it need s a little tlc such as a new windsheld which i can get replaced for $120 and it needs some body work cause of some dings and dents... however it ran nice, heres the link tell me what u guys think

Dude if you want a nice 2 seater get an mr-2 or a miata. They're a whole lot sportier, look better, and are both RWD. Del Sol's are just heavy slow civic's with a (imo) dumb looking shell (hence the del slow comment.. lol) ...BUT, if you must have a Del Sol, that one seems to be a good buy overall, and yes you can get a steering wheel WITH airbag for really cheap, check craigslist.org and ebay. Good luck on whatever you choose to do!

P.S. shame on you for abandoning your Ferio! lol, how much you selling your car for btw?

Initially, the base S model carried a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, while the sportier Si held a 125-horsepower, 1.6-liter four with variable-valve timing. A 160-horsepower engine powered the VTEC model, added in 1994. The 1.5-liter engine disappeared after 1995, replaced by a 106-horsepower 1.6-liter four for the base S model. S and Si models had a standard 5-speed manual transmission, with 4-speed automatic optional. Only manual shift was available in the high-performance VTEC edition. But it weighs 2301.

Be nice if you actually gave credit to the source rather that copy/pasting it like you wrote it..

I hate Del Sols though
