Does a 94' Honda Del Sol have varible valve timing?
And is $6400 for 73,000 a good price for a that car?
Thanks in advance, Nate

I think the 'Del Sol Si' has the same 1.6L sohc vtec that the EX/Si of that year did. The Del Sol was also available with a B16A, which was called the 'Del Sol VTEC'. I don't know when the Del Sol VTEC was introduced, though.

I wouldn't even consider it for that much money unless it had the factory B16 (DOHC).

Correct. '94 was availabe with either sohc or dohc vtec engines. Considering the price, I assume you are talking about a Del Sol Vtec, the one with a dohc engine. 73,000 is a pretty good mileage for a '94, they aren't very common so $6,400 is not that bad of a price.
Del Sol Vtec weights about 100 or so lbs ligher than a '99/'00 Civic Si while having almost the same engine. Expect mid 15 1/4 mile and a very fun to drive car overall.

You beat me too it.
In USA it was like this though:
S
D15B7 1.5L SOHC Non-VTEC 16Valve 102hp
Si
D16Z6 1.6L SOHC VTEC 16Valve 125hp
VTEC
B16A? 1.6L DOHC VTEC 16Valve 160hp
dont buy a del sol unless you buy a Vtec. not a del sol with a vtec engine, But a Del Sol Vtec. it has a vtec badge on the rear. S and Si does not.
The metalic green was the best color.
96 and newer do NOT have the small round driving lights
95 is the Best year IMO. they arent cheap, but they are really fun to drive. JR supercharger, baby!
