1995 Honda Del Sol VTEC model. very excellent original condition Honda with verifiable 47K miles. What I mean by verifiable is a complete set of service records from the original owner showing religious oil change service (at Larry Hopkins Honda in Sunnyvale) for the entire life of the car. mileage is noted along with the date serviced.

Selling only due to out of state relocation - can't take all of the cars!

This Honda has the much sought after B16A3 DOHC VTEC engine that produces 160HP...and has the highest redline of all DelSol Honda (8250 rpm). This is a premium fuel car that has averaged about 31-32 MPG on the freeway for me.

What I have done: 

*Bought the JDM visor set and installed. This means that the visors actually work to the side vs. the US DOT versions (originals included). 

*Bought the Honda Factory brake pads and did the front only because of the mileage. Surprised to find that the fronts had 75% pad left...never changed the rear...both new and used included.

*Paid Honda (Steve Hopkins of Fairfield - yes - related to Larry) to do a valve lash adjustment, replace the thermostat, cooling system service and to replace the timing belt. None of that really needed doing (belt was like new - but was recommended for a 18 year old car) - drive belts are still original and like new.

*Because of a speaker rattle, had new coaxial stock replacement speakers installed at all points - nothing special in the sense of massive amps, etc. - just to clean up the sound.

This really is a see to believe car and can say that there is absolutely nothing mechanically wrong. Listed small flaws in the paint above - but will say this is pretty close to mint for the original paint. Garaged most of the time - rubber trim is really like new - removable top does not leak whatsoever. No wrinkling at the door panels. Pretty mint original floor mats (I think they call them rainbows lol). I will include the original Monroe window sticker to prove the origin as rust-free California. I believe the buy it now price, though above KBB is perfectly reasonable for this rare top model DOHN VTEC Del Sol - It represents Honda at its finest and is a wonderful car for the price

 will take any additional photos - tried to show all

I reserve the right to end the listing early as my neighbor has expressed the desire to purchase - but I have to cover all basis

Honda claims another injury from Takata airbag failure

Tue, Apr 14 2015

Honda has confirmed another injury caused by a faulty Takata airbag inflator in one of its vehicles. The incident occurred on March 20 in Florida to the driver of a 2003 Honda Civic, and according to Reuters, police and hospital reports indicated that shrapnel from the ruptured inflator struck the person in the neck. Honda has indicated that the owner was notified about the airbag at least four times – three of those for the driver's side. The mailings dated back as far as September 29, 2014, and as late as March 23, 2015, which was three days after the crash. The vehicle was eligible to receive new inflators on both sides. In March, Honda issued a high-profile warning to owners in newspapers and on the radio to get their cars fixed. The automaker also broadened its recall during the month to include 100,000 more vehicles, which brought the US total to around 5.5 million. So far, the faulty inflators have been linked to at least six deaths and 139 injuries. In one case, a woman in Florida has filed a lawsuit alleging that she became a quadriplegic when a piece of shrapnel in a 2001 Civic struck her in the neck, and an incident in Texas reportedly caused a man's death.

Re: Confirmed Rupture of Takata Airbag Inflator in Florida April 13, 2015 American Honda has confirmed that the Takata driver's airbag inflator ruptured in the crash of a 2003 Honda Civic on March 20, 2015 in Florida. This crash resulted in an injury to the driver of the vehicle. Our thoughts and sympathies are with the driver and his family during this difficult time. The legal representative of the owner involved in this incident has acknowledged in comments to media that a March 23, 2015 mailed notification was received by the owner. However, multiple mailed notices previously went to the same address, and none of these notices were returned as undeliverable. The vehicle involved in this crash is included in a recall affecting the passenger's front airbag inflator (14V-700) and a safety improvement campaign affecting the driver's front airbag inflator (14V-351), and our records indicate that neither of the necessary repairs was ever completed. American Honda has sent one mailed notice related to the passenger front inflator and three mailed notices related to the driver front inflator, the earliest of which was sent on 9/29/2014.

Honda profit targets tumble in wake of Takata scandal

Fri, Jan 30 2015

Takata's massive airbag inflator recall will likely do some damage to Honda's bottom line this year, according to the Japanese automaker's latest forecasts. The company will allocate 50 billion yen ($425 million) to fulfill costs related to the safety campaigns, Reuters indicates. The decision will reduce estimated operating profit by about 6.5 percent to 720 billion yen ($6.1 billion US) for the fiscal year ending March 31. In addition to lower profits, Honda also cut back its sales estimate for the year to 4.45 million vehicles from the previous 4.62 million, according to Reuters. This was largely due to lower-than-expected demand in Japan. "We are not seeing a big impact on sales in North America from the airbag issue," company vice president Tetsuo Iwamura (pictured above) told Reuters. The decreased forecasts come at the same time as the possibility of another death in a Honda vehicle from the Takata parts. According to Automotive News, a man in Florida died in a crash in his 2002 Accord, but investigators have not yet determined whether the inflator was the cause. However, the vehicle was included in a 2011 recall for the part and was not repaired. The family intends to file a lawsuit alleging the inflator ruptured, spraying metal shrapnel into the driver's neck. Reportedly, the owner was never notified of the recall. While the Takata inflator recall is affecting many companies with alleged links to at least five deaths and 139 injuries worldwide, Honda has it among the worst. Including vehicles covered under the previous regional repair campaign for the issue, the automaker needs to repair roughly 5.4 million vehicles just in the US. Honda has taken action by employing suppliers other than Takata to supply some of its replacement parts for the recall. The business is also reportedly switching airbag suppliers for the next-gen Accord and possibly the 2016 CR-V and Odyssey.

Honda reveals updated rest-of-world Civic hatchback

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

The rest of the world's most recent Honda Civic was introduced for 2012, and it looks much the same as the 2014 model Honda will release in January to European and Asian markets. In fact, not much has changed, but a retuned power steering system, revised front and rear damping rates and rear wheel toe and camber adjustments are touted to make the hatchback drive better, World Car Fans reports.
There are some small visual changes, such as privacy glass for the lower rear window, a piano-black front bumper that previously was dark gray and piano-black trim replacing body-color pieces around the license plate area, tailgate and lower bumper. Inside, white stitching adorns the seats, steering wheel and knee pad along with aluminum and gloss-black accents placed around the center console area.
Of course, Honda won't be exporting this particular Civic to the US (or the recently unveiled Civic Tourer), so check out the photo gallery to see it in all its not-for-you glory.
